Wrexham town centre is gearing up for one of the biggest football events in years as Wales’ first international challenge match of 2019 plays at our legendary Racecourse Stadium on Wednesday March 20.

Fear not however… game day in the town centre definitely won’t be one to miss.

Wales’ boss Ryan Giggs said; “I’m delighted that we’re able to play at the Racecourse for the first time in 10 years. We thoroughly enjoyed taking the team there for an open training session in May. The support was incredible and further fuelled our ambition to host a match at the historic ground.”
