WREXHAM AFC will face Chelsea during their pre-season tour of America later this year.
The Reds, who were already scheduled to face Manchester United, have announced another game against Premier League opposition.
Phil Parkinson's men will face off against the Blues on July 19 in North Carolina as they will (hopefully) be preparing for life in League Two next season.
The club also confirmed that they are set to play an additional two fixtures on their tour of the US on July 22 and July 28, with the full details of those games being released at a future date.

Wrexham AFC manager Phil Parkinson said: “Our tour of the United States will be an exciting part of the summer's build-up to the new season and something we will all be looking forward to in July.
“To have the opportunity to play a team of Chelsea's calibre at the Kenan Stadium, North Carolina, will be a terrific test for our players and form an important part of our preparations for the 2023/24 season.
“We're looking forward to meeting some of the fans who have supported us so passionately from afar this season at a renowned athletics stadium."
