Tue May 13 04:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Wrexham’s Historic Promotion Culminates in Aussie Tour
**Wrexham AFC, fresh off a stunning 92-point League One season that secured automatic promotion to the Championship, will embark on a pre-season tour of Australia and New Zealand.** The historic promotion marks the club’s return to the second tier of English football after a 43-year absence.
The Red Dragons, co-owned by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, will face three A-League opponents: Melbourne Victory (July 11th), Sydney FC (July 15th), and Wellington Phoenix (July 19th). The tour represents a further step in the club’s global expansion, building on previous US tours.
McElhenney and Reynolds expressed their excitement about bringing Wrexham to a global audience, jokingly noting their restraint in avoiding any predictable Hollywood-themed puns in the announcement.
Wrexham’s Championship fixtures will be released on June 26th, with the season kicking off the weekend of August 8th-10th. The club’s remarkable rise continues to captivate fans worldwide.
