Olson, the wife of Wrexham owner and co-chairman Rob McElhenney, is a Portland native and will be in attendance as the women's team take in their first-ever pre-season tour of the United States. That's not all, though, as the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia co-star joked that she will be playing in the clash in her hometown, much to her husband's surprise.

After declaring herself Wrexham's "co-chairwoman by marriage", Olson said: "Anyway, the Wrexham AFC Women's team is playing the Portland Thorns during their first-ever summer tour and I will be there because, as you know, I am from Portland, and I'll also probably be playing in the game."
When a puzzled McElhenney denied his wife's claim, she replied: "They might ask me to."
After the actor gave up fighting her on the matter, he said: "Come watch Kaitlin tear her hamstring."
"My hamstrings are going to be fine," she replied.
