Wrexham will face a tough opponent in their first match of the season, as they take on relegated Premier League club Southampton. Williamson described this match as a "pinch yourself" moment, highlighting the significance of the challenge ahead. The club's success in recent years has been fueled by the investment of Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, who purchased the club in 2020.

Wrexham has become the first team to earn three successive promotions from England's National League to the Championship. The team's success has been documented in the "Welcome to Wrexham" series, which has given the club international recognition. The team's staff and players are now focused on building on this momentum and making a strong start in the Championship.

Former Wrexham player and club ambassador Ben Tozer emphasized the team's potential to surprise people in the league. He noted that the club has a strong momentum and a winning mentality, which could take them far in the competition. Fellow club ambassador Ben Foster highlighted the importance of recruiting the right people to the team, and the club's "no dickheads" policy, which emphasizes teamwork and a common goal.

Wrexham's chief executive, Williamson, said that the club's culture is being shaped by the people they bring in. He emphasized the importance of finding individuals who understand the club's values and mission. The club is close to signing New Zealand international left-back Liberato Cacace, which would be a significant addition to the team.

The team will return to Wales on Sunday after playing Wellington Phoenix in New Zealand on Saturday evening. Wrexham's manager, Phil Parkinson, is confident that the team has the potential to make a strong start in the Championship and challenge for a playoff spot.

With a strong team and a clear vision, Wrexham AFC is ready to take on the challenges of the Championship and make a name for itself in the English football league.
