Founded in 1864 , Wrexham is the third oldest professional football club in the world.

For years, he remained in the lower divisions of English football, facing both sporting and financial challenges.

However, in 2020, its fate changed radically when Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney acquired the club for approximately 50 million pesos.

His vision was not only to revitalize the team on the field, but also to transform its overall image.

To this end, they produced the documentary series "Welcome to Wrexham," which chronicles the club's evolution and has captured the attention of an international audience.

Since the arrival of Reynolds and McElhenney, Wrexham has experienced a remarkable resurgence.

In 2023 , they achieved promotion to League Two, and the following year, they were promoted to League One . Now, with their recent promotion to the Championship , the club is one step away from reaching the Premier League , the top flight of English football.
