Austin FC: Matthew McConaughey's MLS club launch, players, stadium & everything you need to know

Matthew McConaughey is the latest celebrity superstar to invest in a Major League Soccer team, with the Hollywood actor becoming one of the owners of Texas-based Austin FC.

The True Detective star is a massive sports fan and has thrown himself into the venture, embracing a game that has traditionally been something of a poor relation in the United States.

McConaughey joins a growing list of A-List football club owners across the world, with the likes of David Beckham (Inter Miami), Ryan Reynolds (Wrexham) and LeBron James (Liverpool) all taking the plunge.
