Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney strike a deal to rename Wrexham FC’s stadium

  1. The historic football stadium, Racecourse Ground in Wrexham, will be renamed the SToK Racecourse after a sponsorship deal was agreed by the owners, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. This is the first time that the world’s oldest international football stadium will have sponsorship, with the deal coming into effect on July 1st. Fans who speak the Welsh language will now refer to the ground as “SToK Cae Ras”.

    SToK Cold Brew Coffee is one of the fastest-growing brands in the United States but is yet to sell coffee in the UK, according to the Wrexham website. In a light-hearted video, McElhenney and Reynolds announced that they would secretly replace the traditional afternoon tea with SToK Cold Brew Coffee to see if the fans would notice. The joint statement from the owners said that they wanted a sponsor who encapsulated the vitality and energy of Wrexham while also being a learning experience to say. SToK Cold Brew Coffee fitted the bill perfectly, and they were a little overcaffeinated.

    The advisory board of Wrexham, which is made up of supporter representatives, backs the stadium’s sponsorship. Brittney Polka, Vice President of Ready-to-Drink Beverages at Danone North America, stated that SToK is all about bold moves, which is why she believes that their partnership with Wrexham is perfect. SToK will sponsor Wrexham’s summer American tour, which includes matches against Chelsea and Manchester United.

    Humphrey Ker, Wrexham’s Executive Director, said they were delighted to welcome SToK to the Wrexham family. The stadium’s sponsorship with the fastest-growing cold brew brand in the USA is a perfect match, with both ambitious brands’ upward trajectories meeting.
