Wrexham Football Club, a Welsh professional football team, achieved a major milestone by securing their promotion to League Two of the English Football League after a 15-year absence. The decisive match took place on Saturday night against Boreham Wood.

Everything I own smells like champagne, beer and grass. I’m still somewhere between giggling and sobbing. This town and this sport is one of the most romantic things on earth. Thank you, @Wrexham_AFC ⚔️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿⚔️ pic.twitter.com/cxpVRUpkLq

The situation was tense, as Wrexham needed a win to guarantee automatic promotion, given that their rivals, Notts County, had already won their game earlier that evening.

Unfortunately, the match started poorly for Wrexham, as they conceded a goal in the first minute at their home stadium, the Racecourse Ground. Celebrity owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenny, who purchased the club in 2021, were present to witness the event.

Your National League Champions!!

Despite the early setback, Wrexham managed to turn the game around. They equalized within 15 minutes, and forward Paul Mullin scored two crucial second-half goals, which led to a 3-1 victory.

The memorable win in Wrexham was marked by the emotional reactions of the team’s celebrity owners. As the final whistle blew, fans rushed onto the field to celebrate with the players and coaching staff.

Reynolds and McElhenny, who quickly became fan favorites after buying the club, joined the on-field celebration after the match. Reynolds later shared photos of the festivities on Twitter and tweeted an emotional message, saying, “Every inch of me smells like champagne, beer, and marijuana. I’m still laughing and crying.”

FEARLESS IN DEVOTION, RISING TO PROMOTION!!!!!!!

Ultimately, Wrexham’s promotion was sealed with 110 points accumulated from 45 games. Meanwhile, Notts County, possibly finishing the season with 109 points, will have to try their luck in the playoffs.

Promoting Wrexham Football Club to League Two after 15 years has been an incredible journey, with the club experiencing a resurgence under the ownership of Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenny. Their involvement has attracted global attention to the club and led to increased investment, revitalizing Wrexham’s performance on the field.

Under the guidance of manager Phil Parkinson, the team underwent a remarkable transformation. Key signings, such as the acquisition of forward Paul Mullin from Cambridge United, bolstered the squad and proved instrumental in their push for promotion. Mullin’s impact was evident in the decisive match against Boreham Wood, as his brace secured the victory that guaranteed Wrexham’s promotion.

The Wrexham story is INSANE:

• Bought for $2.5M
• Produced docu-series on FX
• Added 1M+ social media followers
• Tripled season ticket purchases
• Signed sponsorships with TikTok, Expedia, etc.

And now they've been promoted back to the EFL for the first time in 15 years. pic.twitter.com/fwEtELDovF

Throughout the season, Wrexham demonstrated impressive consistency, crucial in its successful promotion campaign. Their strong defensive record and potent attacking force ensured they maintained an edge over their rivals, ultimately accumulating 110 points.

The club’s promotion has been a success on the field and generated a significant economic boost for the town of Wrexham. The increased attention brought by celebrity owners has led to a surge in tourism, merchandise sales, and local business growth.

As Wrexham prepares to compete in League Two, the club’s management and owners are expected to invest further in strengthening the squad, improving infrastructure, and enhancing the matchday experience for the fans. The journey back to the English Football League has been remarkable, but for Wrexham, this is just the beginning of a new chapter in the club’s history.
