Wrexham AFC is Wales' oldest football club and one of the oldest in the world, matched with clubs such as Sheffield FC and Stoke City. The Red Dragons play at Racecourse Ground which is recognised in the Guinness Book of World Records as the oldest existing football stadium, opened in 1807. The first football match was played here in 1872.

Originally developed as a venue for horse racing, The Racecourse Ground in Wrexham is one of the oldest football stadiums, or sporting venues in general, anywhere in Europe. It didn’t start hosting football until 1864 but it has maintained its quaint charm and atmosphere throughout its 200-year existence. With Wales still occasionally using the venue for international matches, the venue in North Wales is now considered to be the oldest stadium in the world capable of hosting an international competition.
