Wrexham to play Liverpool at Yankee Stadium as part of summer tour
WREXHAM, Wales (AP) --- Wrexham will play Liverpool in a friendly match at
Yankee Stadium as part of its East Coast tour this summer, and by that time the
fast-rising Welsh club will know if it has reached the Premier League.
Wrexham has earned an unprecedented three straight promotions and is playing in
the second-tier Championship for the first time since the 1980s.
Its surge up the English soccer pyramid, documented in the Emmy-winning
"Welcome to Wrexham" TV series, began in 2022 with promotion from the
non-league fifth division.
Wrexham is currently in sixth place in the Championship with 11 games remaining
in the season. The top-two finishers secure automatic promotion to the Premier
League and the teams that finish third to sixth will qualify for the
end-of-season playoffs for the one extra promotion spot.
Wrexham's three-match tour, announced on Wednesday, begins July 25 against
Leeds at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. The Liverpool game is July 29. The
team then faces Sunderland on Aug. 2 at Subaru Park near Philadelphia.
