Summary

-> www.kelloggsfc.com AD Free listening: In this episode of Football for Kids, we’re heading to North Wales to explore the incredible story of Wrexham AFC – the oldest football club in Wales and one of the oldest in the world! Founded way back in 1864 by local cricketers looking for a winter sport, Wrexham’s journey through football history is packed with ups, downs, and some truly brilliant facts – including having the oldest international football stadium still in use and one of the first proper formations in the game. We’ll take you through the club’s early days, its place in football history, its wild journey through the leagues, and the incredible modern-day twist: being bought by Hollywood duo Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, and starring in the smash-hit series Welcome to Wrexham. This is a story of tradition, passion, and a club that’s captured the world’s attention. Could the Premier League be next? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
