Wrexham to compete in 7-on-7 tournament in Cary: Welcome to North Carolina

Wrexham, the fifth-tier Welsh membership owned by actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, will ship a crew to compete in a $1 million, winner-take-all, seven-on-seven event in early June in Cary, North Carolina.

The 32-team event contains Mexico’s Necaxa and groups organized by former U.S captain Clint Dempsey, U.S. girls’s crew midfielder Heather O’Reilly and Hashtag United, a British web site based by YouTube character Spencer Carmichael-Brown.

TBT Enterprises is organizing the event, which runs June 1-4. Wrexham mentioned Friday that its crew will embrace membership legends, some from the “Welcome to Wrexham” documentary collection on FX.

Wrexham, purchased by Reynolds and McElhenney in 2020, started Friday second to Notts County in England’s Nationwide League, hoping to realize promotion to fourth-tier League Two. It visits Sheffield United in an FA Cup fourth-round replay on Tuesday after conceding within the fifth minute of stoppage time of a 3-3 draw on Jan. 29.

Wrexham adviser Shaun Harvey mentioned if the membership wins the event, it might use $500,000 of the prize cash for group work.

The Wakemed Soccer Park in Cary hosts most school tournaments. In December 2022, it was the location of the Girls’s Nationwide Champion sport that includes UNC and UCLA.

In 2018, Cary was voted thirteenth greatest metropolis for soccer followers.
