Wrexham AFC will participate in the EFL League One next season, the third highest-level soccer competition in the English league system. They have achieved promotion in each of the past two seasons.
The team is partially owned by Vancouver-born actor Ryan Reynolds and fellow Hollywood star Rob McElhenney who made the purchase in 2020. Their backing has led to the team exploding in popularity and achieving greater success on the field due to stronger financials.
The television show Welcome to Wrexham, which follows the team since the purchase, has created a ton of new fans for the club around the world.
The Welsh side is touring North America and playing three friendly matches, including this one against the Whitecaps. Wrexham AFC will also face off against AFC Bournemouth and Chelsea in late July in California.
The Whitecaps have been drawing huge crowds to BC Place this season. They are averaging nearly 30,000 fans per home game so far this season. The team drew over 50,000 fans to see Lionel Messi and Inter Miami CF play, although the star didn’t show up.
The Vancouver-based team is comfortably sitting in an MLS playoff position at the moment. They have 25 points after 16 matches, good for fifth in the Western Conference.
