A Hollywood-backed football club is coming to play in Wellington.

Welsh side Wrexham AFC's taking on Wellington Phoenix FC at Sky Stadium in July - one of three Australasian matches set to take place.

It's owned by movie stars Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds.

WellingtonNZ's Heidi Morton says she expects the game will sell out.

"Not only because this is going to be a fantastic, friendly football match, but also the entertainment draw with the Welcome to Wrexham show."
