The team was established in 1864, and remains famed today as the oldest football club in Wales and the third-oldest professional team in the world.

After spending time with the stars, King Charles and Queen Camilla met with the First, Women’s and Youth Teams based at Wrexham and posed for a photo. They proceeded to ascend the stairs of the Macron Stand, greeting Wrexham AFC personnel including coaches, medics, admins and more. The royal couple made their way to learn more about the ongoing development of the club with Strategic Advisor Shaun Harvey, chatting with contractors and architects on the job.
King Charles wrapped the stop with a visit to the 1864 Suite, connecting with Disabled Liaison Officer for Wrexham AFC, Kerry Evans and Power Chair participants. The monarch also took time to mingle with former Wrexham athletes, team partners and lifelong fans of the Welsh soccer club.
