Joining its men’s side with a tour across the pond, the Wrexham Women are coming to the United States to play several friendlies. In partnership with financial services company Ally, the Wrexham Women’s side is organizing a Wrex Coast Tour. While the club did not elaborate on dates, venues, or possible opponents, it is still a historic milestone. The AFC Wrexham Women have never played in a summer tour akin to what it will do in 2024.
The tour’s goal is to capitalize on the popularity of Wrexham as a brand and build Wrexham Women into one of the world’s most popular women’s teams. As a club, Wrexham has become one of the most popular clubs in the world, particularly for its stature. This is especially true in the United States. For example, the Wrexham men’s side came to the United States last summer, drawing major crowds. In total, over 110,000 people came to watch four games when the side played in the United States. The highlight was over 50,000 people watching Wrexham face Chelsea in Chapel Hill, NC.
The Wrexham Women may not draw crowds that large in the United States. Regardless, this tour presents a major chance for Wrexham to build its presence in the United States. With a growing women’s soccer scene in the United States leading the globe, Wrexham is joining droves of other clubs in coming to the United States this summer.
“Beyond all of the wins at home, this tour is a fantastic way for Wrexham AFC Women to show the world what they’re made of,” Wrexham owners Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds said.
