New footage from the Racecourse Ground has offered an encouraging glimpse of Wrexham's ongoing Kop Stand redevelopment.

The latest update highlights the scale of the construction work, with the new structure continuing to take shape.

Progress continues on Wrexham's new Kop Stand

Footage published by Wrexham AFC World provides an update on the £70m redevelopment project, with several aspects of the construction process captured from ground level and above.

The video initially focuses on pitch maintenance during the international break before turning to the technical operations taking place around the site, including hoist installations and rack and pinion lift systems used to move heavy materials.

The most impressive sequences show the growing steel framework and the installation of the stand's structural elements.

Aerial footage also provides a useful perspective on how the new Kop is taking shape alongside the existing Racecourse Ground.

The plan is to deliver a stand with around 7,750 seats, forming a major part of Wrexham's wider ambition to modernise their historic home.

The project is expected to be fully operational for the 2027-28 season, with the redevelopment also intended to help the Racecourse achieve UEFA Category 4 status.

There is plenty to be encouraged by in the latest footage, particularly the progress being made on the steel framework and the installation of the roof structure.

The aerial shots help demonstrate just how significant the redevelopment is, with the new Kop increasingly becoming a visible part of the Racecourse Ground rather than simply a construction site.

There is still considerable work to complete before supporters can take their seats, but the 2027-28 target is an important milestone for the club.
