 Wrexham FC [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/soccer/wrexham-afc/] continues to draw plaudits after a remarkable season. Actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are the owners of one of the oldest clubs in the world. The soccer [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/soccer/] club plays in the National League; the 5th tier of English football, and was founded in 1864. Currently, the team’s performances would take them up to the EFL League 2. Significantly, the famous TV show, ‘Welcome to Wrexham,’ put them on the map as they showcased the city and the ambitions related to the football club. Hence, Wrexham is on the rise.

The club plays its home games in the Racecourse Ground, and the stadium has a capacity of 10,771. The stadium will undergo expansion plans as they are developing an extra 5,500 seats into the ground. As far as cups and trophies go, they have been unsuccessful in recent years. But they have won some prestigious awards, and Wrexham is certainly a club that dares to dream. ALL THE LEAGUE TITLES AND TROPHIES WON BY WREXHAM Even though the club took a downfall, they won various trophies in their history. Some honors and promotion highlights are listed below: FOOTBALL LEAGUE Third Division (3rd level) – Champions 1977/78 FOOTBALL CONFERENCE Runners-up – 2011/12, 2021/22 Play-Off Finalists – 2012/13 EUROPEAN CUP WINNERS’ CUP Quarter Finalists – 1975/76 FA TROPHY Winners – 2012/13 Runners-up – 2014/15, 2021/22 FOOTBALL LEAGUE TROPHY Winners – 2004/05 WELSH CUP Winners – 23 times (cup record) Runners-up – 22 times FAW PREMIER CUP Winners – 1997/98, 1999/00, 2000/01, 2002/03 & 2003/04 Runners-up – 1998/99, 2004/05 & 2005/06 FA CUP Quarter Finalists – 1973/74, 1977/78 & 1996/97 LEAGUE CUP Quarter Finalists – 1960/61 & 1977/78 [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago1012322387h-1.jpg]Wrexham v Grimsby Town – Vanarama National League – Semi Final – The Racecourse Ground Wrexham owners Ryan Reynolds left and Rob McElhenney during the Vanarama National League semi-final match at The Racecourse Ground, Wrexham.

PUBLICATIONxNOTxINxUKxIRL Copyright: xBradleyxCollyerx 67169558 WREXHAM AFC’S INCREDIBLE WELSH CUP RECORD The success achieved in the Welsh Cup is something extraordinary. Winning 23 trophies is a record for the competition. Moreover, they finished runners-up in the prestigious cup competition 22 times. Hence, Wrexham AFC is arguably the finest soccer side to grace the competition. The second team with the most cup victories is Cardiff City managing 22 cup victories. After that comes Swansea, with 10 cup victories. They will hold the 2023 Welsh Cup finals on 30th April. Despite their record, Wrexham does not compete in the Welsh Cup now.

According to BBC [https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/18520092], only teams who compete in the Welsh football pyramid would get a chance to play in the cup. Thus, to see Wrexham back in the Welsh Cup would not happen unless the rules are changed. WREXHAM’S ALL-TIME ATTENDEES’ RECORD The all-time record for Wrexham FC attendees record is 34445 against Manchester United, back on 26/01/1957. The attendances are much lesser compared to the older days as there are restrictions in place. In the current 2022/23 seasons [https://www.transfermarkt.us/afc-wrexham/besucherzahlenentwicklung/verein/1112], the soccer club welcomed 179,158 fans in 18 matches with an average of 9953. Fans are invested in the club more than ever. The attendance record has increased every season since Ryan and Rob took over the reins in 2020. During the 2019/20 seasons, the club averaged 73,043 fans in 18 games with an attendees’ average of 4,058. There is a significant rise in the number of attendees to the club.

Before the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, both actors joined hands to buy the soccer club. Since then, they have transformed the club to perfection. From the branding to the TV show, ‘Welcome to Wrexham,’ the club’s exposure is at an all-time high. The duo paid $2.5 million to purchase the club. It needed a lot of work both on and off the pitch. In the previous season, the club reached the playoffs, and the work done is commendable. They have big money sponsors in TikTok and boast various facilities which elevate them to the top of the soccer charts. RECORD TRANSFER TO DATE Soon after the duo took over the club, they started spending money. The club broke the transfer record fee by signing Ollie Palmer in a club-record deal of $366,480. The record transfer broke the previous record held by Wrexham when the club signed Jones back in 1978. They paid $256,567 that year. Palmer, in the meantime, scored a goal every 117 minutes and proved to be a worthwhile signing.

<h2>History</h2>
The history of modern soccer can be dated back to the mid-nineteenth century when local clubs in England came forward and established a set of rules, leading to the formation of the Football Association in London, England, on 26 October 1863. A total of 11 soccer clubs were present at the first meeting of the FA, along with representatives from different schools. Eight years after its culmination, the FA had 50 member clubs. In 1872, the association started the world's oldest competition to this date: the FA Cup. Since the FA Cup was a knockout competition, 12 clubs decided to start the Football League. It was the top-tier league competition in England till 1992. However, in 1992, 22 teams decided to split and formed the Premier League.
