First visit to Wales within the 92 challenge, to see one of the most famous teams in the United Kingdom.
Despite being in the fourth division, League Two, Wrexham has a lot of pull, and not just in Wales.
A team with more than 150 years of history, and a stadium where they have been playing sports for two centuries is no small feat.
But his great rise to fame came after the purchase of the team by two Hollywood stars, Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, when the team was still out of professional football.
It was a bombshell, some didn't take them seriously, but when they saw the documentary, one thing became clear to all of us, in Wrexham there is COMMUNITY. Something that is mentioned in each episode, and that has been demonstrated to me after visiting this town of 65,000 inhabitants, where the soccer team means a real injection for the spirit of its inhabitants and the prosperity of the town.
On this occasion I was lucky enough to have a great host, Dan Roberts, a Welshman, who is a shareholder in Real Oviedo and ended up living in Asturias for a few years, so even if Wrexham were not the team they are, the visit It was obligatory for Dan, and there are few people who devote themselves to football like Dan and many other foreigners that I have been lucky enough to meet do.
With this match against Morecambe at the Racecourse Ground there are now 12 stadiums that I have visited so far this season, continue this incredible journey through English and Welsh football stadiums, from the 5-star stadiums of the Premier League to the most humble from League Two through the Championship and League One.
The 92 Challenge is a project in which, through a long journey that will take me years, I will visit the 92 stadiums of professional football. A search for the essence of English football through fan culture and the stories of each stadium, team and city they represent.
Is Racecourse Ground on your list of stadiums to visit?
