‘A stadium in a stand’: Inside the rise of Wrexham’s £69m five-level ‘Premier-League ready’ Kop

Wrexham are making significant progress on the construction of a new five-level, £69.1 million Kop stand at The Racecourse Ground. Built by McLaren Construction and designed by Populous, the 7,750-capacity structure is being built to Premier League and UEFA Category 4 standards. The project aims to bring international football back to the stadium ahead of its scheduled opening for the 2027-28 season.

The development features upgraded facilities for Phil Parkinson's squad, including an expansive dressing room, warm-up areas, a media auditorium, and a Tunnel Club. Roof installation is scheduled to begin shortly, with external brickwork paying homage to the city's historic terracotta heritage.
