Under the PCSA, McLaren Construction will lead on developing final designs, tendering subcontractor packages and refining construction timelines and delivery strategies for the works.

Wrexham play at the world’s oldest international football stadium still in use – the STōK Cae Ras.

The return of the Kop Stand will restore the ground to its full four-sided structure and early works will begin later this month. The full build programme is scheduled for completion during the 2026/27 season.

The new stand will ultimately increase stadium capacity to over 18,000 delivering modern facilities for Club stakeholders and enable the Club to achieve UEFA Category 4 compliance and host more international matches.

“The new Kop Stand will be the heart of the reimagined stadium - increasing capacity, enhancing the experience for fans, and anchoring our place in our home city,” said Michael Williamson, CEO of Wrexham AFC.

Wrexham AFC currently play in the English football Championship and are co-owned by Hollywood actors Rob Mac and Ryan Reynolds.
