Wrexham stadium name, capacity, cost, and expansion: Where Ryan Reynolds club plays and why ground is under construction

As Wrexham edge towards their goal of promotion back to the English Football League, the club have revealed ambitious plans for the coming months.

Alongside planned investment in Phil Parkinson's squad, co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are also financing major renovations at the club's home base — the Racecourse Ground.

The stadium has fallen into disrepair during the last decade, with the Kop Stand unfit for use since 2008, as a standing area of the arena.

The plans have received approval from the local authority with building work on the project starting in January 2023.

Wrexham's Racecourse Ground holds a number of eye-catching historical records since it began hosting football matches in 1864.

The stadium is the world's oldest international football arena, that is still hosting international matches, with more Wales games played there than any other stadium in the country.

The Racecourse Ground takes its name from its former use as a horse racing venue in the early 19th century, before being solely used for football following Wrexham's formation.

Prior to the 2008 closure of The Kop, the Racecourse Ground could hold 20,000 fans across seated and standing areas.

The closed area significantly reduced the standing space at the stadium, with a minor upgrade in 2013 bringing the capacity up to 10,771.
