THE WORLDWIDE interest in Wrexham is set to grow even further this weekend with their latest match aired live in America.
The Reds' popularity has seen an astronomical rise since the takeover of the club by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney in early 2021.
And the added bonus of the popular 'Welcome to Wrexham' documentary - which features the pair's takeover journey - has boosted the club's profile even further to people overseas.
Now, Wrexham is set to enjoy even more exposure abroad this coming Saturday (October 15).
