Wrexham to play Bournemouth and Vancouver Whitecaps in US summer tour
The fan-favourite club co-owned by Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney earned promotion to League One, the third tier of English soccer, for the first time in 19 years.
The club will play Premier League Bournemouth in Santa Barbara, California, on July 20th and the Whitecaps in Vancouver on July 27th. The club previously announced a fixture against Chelsea that will take place on July 24th at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
The "Wrex Coast Tour" comes after a successful trip to the United States last summer, which included a meeting with Chelsea in front of a sold-out crowd in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
"Last year’s US Tour was a fantastic experience, and a memorable trip for all the players and staff," manager Phil Parkinson said in a statement.
"It will be a great chance to meet new supporters, while also building for the 2024/25 League One season."
