About Wrexham AFC Women
Wrexham AFC Women, the
official women's football department of Wrexham AFC, was reformed
in 2018. Following the takeover of the Football Club on
February 9, 2021, Rob McElhenney and Ryan
Reynolds made an immediate financial investment into the
women's football section, and in 2023, the Club achieved promotion
to the top tier of Welsh women's football, the Adran Premier.
Wrexham AFC Women were subsequently able to realize their ambition
of becoming the first semi-professional women's football team in
Wales. The team also holds the
all-time Welsh domestic football attendance record of 9,511, set at
the Racecourse Ground on March 26,
2023.
