Wrexham AFC, the Welsh soccer club owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, has an opportunity to earn promotion from the National League into League 2 of English football on Saturday afternoon for the first time in 15 years.
Wrexham faces Boreham Wood at 1:30 p.m. ET for an opportunity to earn promotion. Wrexham was close to promotion a year ago, losing in extra time to Grimsby Town in the promotion playoffs semifinal. Wrexham has an opportunity on Saturday to earn the No. 1 spot in the league and skip the promotion playoffs all together due to automatic qualification to jump tiers.
There are three different scenarios that would propel Wrexham into League 2 on Saturday. If Notts County, the No. 2 team in the National League, beats Maidstone United and Wrexham beats Boreham Wood, Wrexham is promoted.
