We all know the work done by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney to take Wrexham over the top. They have completely transformed the club from the perils of extinction to become world-beaters in several years. They have widened their fan base in America, and the soccer club is stepping forward each day.

Likewise, they have not only invested in the men’s team but the women’s team as well. The Wrexham women’s team is being promoted to higher leagues because of their sensational performances. Surprisingly, though, the team missed out on the Women’s Football Business Award.

Instead, the award went to Bristol Rovers, who claimed the coveted prize. The team beat the likes of Chelsea and Southampton to win the award. Despite the award snub, Ryan and Rob have explained their desire to invest heavily in the club. Hence, here is the list of winners for the award.

All in all, things are looking astonishing for both the men’s and women’s teams of the Wrexham soccer club.
