Wrexham Unveils Plans for New 5,500-Seat Kop Stand at Historic Stadium

The new stand, designed by Populous, aims to restore the Racecourse's four-sided enclosure and meet UEFA standards for hosting international matches.

The 5,500-capacity Kop Stand will replace the derelict terrace at Wrexham's STōK Cae Ras stadium, with construction aligning with UEFA Category 4 standards.
The design incorporates local heritage elements, including a perforated red brick facade inspired by Wrexham's 'Terracottapolis' nickname and embossed dragon motifs from the club's crest.
The stand will feature safe standing, hospitality, accessible seating, and a player tunnel, enhancing both fan experience and stadium functionality.
The upgrades will enable Wrexham to host international matches, including games for the UEFA European Under-19 Championship
Owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney continue to invest in the club's growth, with the project playing a key role in the city's broader Wrexham Gateway redevelopment initiative.
