Wrexham AFC, co-owned by Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, is at the midpoint of its remarkable journey towards the Premier League. The next destination: League One.

Following a successful pre-season tour on the U.S. west coast, Wrexham kicks off its domestic season with a match against Wycombe Wanderers. This marks the first time in 19 years that the club will compete at this level, highlighting the progress made since Reynolds and McElhenney acquired it for USD 2.5 million in 2021.

The club's ascent has been documented in the Emmy Award-winning series 'Welcome to Wrexham,' now in its third season. The journey has captivated a global audience, especially after the team's exhibition matches in North America drew up to 35,000 spectators. Wrexham's rise, underscored by new signings and strategic investments, aims for the ultimate goal: entry into the Premier League.
