Wrexham announce tour of Australia and New Zealand

Wrexham will play three pre-season fixtures against A-League opposition during a summer tour of Australia and New Zealand.

Fresh from securing a historic third successive promotion, Phil Parkinson’s side will take on Melbourne Victory at the Marvel Stadium on 11 July before facing Sydney FC at the Allianz Stadium four days later.

The north Wales side will then play Wellington Phoenix at the Sky Stadium on 19 July.

Wrexham co-chairmen Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds said: “From the very beginning, we wanted to help make Wrexham a globally recognised team, town and brand.

“We could not be more excited to bring the Red Dragons to Australia and New Zealand, and we are particularly proud that this announcement features neither a Men at Work or Hugh Jackman joke.

It comes after the club twice toured the United States of America during recent off seasons under the ownership of Hollywood duo Reynolds and McElhenney, facing stellar opposition including Manchester United and Chelsea.

Parkinson’s side will discover their league fixtures for the 2025-26 season at 12:00 BST on Thursday, 26 June.

Friday, 11 July Melbourne Victory vs Wrexham, Marvel Stadium (10:30 BST)
