Wrexham Association Football Club is a Welsh professional football club based in Wrexham, competing in the English Football League Championship. They play their home matches at the historic Racecourse Ground, the world's oldest international football stadium that still hosts matches. Founded in 1864, it is the oldest club in Wales and the third oldest professional association football club in the world. For most of its modern history, Wrexham languished in the lower tiers, facing financial peril and relegation to the non-league National League in 2008. The club's destiny was utterly transformed in 2020 when it was purchased by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. Their investment, documented in the popular "Welcome to Wrexham" series, catalyzed a remarkable revival. With significant squad investment and the leadership of manager Phil Parkinson, Wrexham achieved back-to-back promotions, first winning the National League in 2023 and then securing automatic promotion from League Two in 2024. Now in the Championship, the club faces its biggest challenge in a generation. Boasting global fame and a packed Racecourse Ground every week, Wrexham's story is a modern football fairy tale, as they aim to establish themselves in the second tier and continue their unprecedented ascent.
