WREXHAM AFC will be heading stateside for the first time this summer, with a friendly lined up against Philadelphia Union on Thursday July 29 at Subaru Park.

As part of the Club’s preparations for the 2021/22 season, the Red Dragons will spend five days at a training camp, including the showpiece fixture.

Philadelphia is the home city of Wrexham co-chairman Rob McElhenney, and it is anticipated he and Ryan Reynolds will be together to watch the team live for the first time.

Wrexham AFC players will also debut the Club’s new away strip for the game in Philadelphia.

In addition to the match, The Union are hosting a community event around the game, which will see Rob McElhenney play an integral part. Several local charities will subsequently benefit from Wrexham AFC’s first visit to the United States.

More details will be released in due course.
