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.
