Wrexham AFC is the oldest football club in Wales. Established in 1864, it boasts 159 years of history.
However, it is a team that soccer fans are not familiar with. It was still a professional until the mid-2000s, but in 2008 it became an amateur club when it was demoted from League Two (4th division) to the National League.
It was in November 2020 that Wrexham again began to attract the attention of soccer fans around the world. That’s because actor Ryan Reynolds, the main character of the movie ‘Deadpool’, took over Wrexham along with his fellow actor Rob McCall Henney. Acquisition cost was 2.5 million dollars (approximately 3.1 billion won).
Like a famous actor, the acquisition process was produced as a documentary. It is ‘Welcome to Lexom’ that was released through Disney Plus.
He became famous among Korean fans for imitating Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur)’s snap ceremony. After holding a ceremony as a group in November of last year, they announced that they were fans of Son Heung-min. He also sent a message to Son Heung-min through Ben Davies, a former Welsh national team member who plays for Tottenham. Son Heung-min also supported Wrexham in the FA Cup.
Wrexham went on a winning streak in the National League in the 2022-2023 season.
In the National League, where 24 clubs compete, they finished first with 34 wins, 9 draws and 3 losses with 111 points. With the win, he moved up to League Two. It is the first professional trip in 15 years. Owner Reynolds also watched the 45th round match against Boreham Wood, which confirmed the championship. 카지노사이트
Reynolds invited the Wrexham team to Las Bakers, USA, along with the championship and promotion.
According to ESPN on the 2nd (Korean time), Wrexham’s top scorer Paul Merlin appeared on a podcast and said, “I don’t know if I can talk, but we’re going to Las Vegas. It’s unbelievable. The owner texted me two minutes ago. While saying that, Wrexham’s trip to Las Vegas became known.
The Wrexham team will go on a trip to Las Vegas after holding a bus parade in Wrexham, Wales, on the 2nd local time.
Rexom’s status has also changed. As a club belonging to the 4th division, it is expected to show an unconventional pre-season move. In June, after playing a pre-season friendly match against LA Galaxy 2nd team in LA, USA, in July, they are scheduled to play head-to-head against Manchester United and Chelsea in the USA.
