The story of Wrexham AFC and the ownership of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney has been well documented — literally — as the docuseries Welcome to Wrexham chronicled how they came to acquire the team and Welcome to Wrexham season 2 is on the way. But it hasn't been as easy for those outside of the UK to actually see the Wrexham team play. That's about to change with a Wrexham AFC vs Chelsea friendly taking place on July 19.
Coming off winning the National League, which gave the team promotion to the English Football League for the first time in 15 years, Wrexham AFC is getting a chance to play on US soil against one of the top clubs in the Premier League, Chelsea.
