History

Historical Context

Wrexham AFC, founded in 1864, has evolved significantly, especially after American actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney acquired the club in 2021. Their ownership, coupled with the success of the docuseries *Welcome to Wrexham*, has attracted a global fanbase and increased revenue, with a turnover of £33.3 million in 2024. This mirrors the commercial transformation of English football initiated by the Premier League's formation in 1992.
