New footage has shown the ongoing works at Wrexham's Racecourse Stadium ahead of the next step in the expansion.

The Red Dragons have commenced life in the Championship in steady fashion and currently sit 13th in the league standings, four points off the top six.

Phil Parkinson's troops secured a much-needed home win prior to the November international break, beating Charlton Athletic.

The Welsh outfit have enjoyed some notable wins at the Racecourse Stadium this term, defeating league leaders Coventry City 3-2 on October 31.

Wrexham return from the international pause with a trip to Ipswich Town on Saturday before back-to-back home matches to round off the November schedule.

New footage emerges of Racecourse Stadium expansion

Courtesy of Wrexham AFC Fanzone via their YouTube channel, supporters have been given an aerial update on the progress of work at the venue.

The Red Dragons are in the process of building a new Kop stand, one which is scheduled to be completed for the start of next season.

As shown by the footage, there is a singular piling rig in the area behind the goal at the moment, waiting for the next stage in construction.

The space has been flattened and prepared for the installation of the various attachments that will make up the new stand.

What are Wrexham's stadium ambitions?

Wrexham are looking to become a top-flight club, although their infrastructure at the Racecourse Stadium is not currently at such a standard.

The new Kop stand will bring the venue's capacity to 18,000, although there are ambitions to go further than this in the future.

Wrexham are hoping to host matches at the 2035 Women's World Cup if Wales manage to complete a successful bid for the competition.

The Racecourse Stadium would need to be over 22,000 in capacity to host fixtures in the tournament, setting a tangible goal for the Red Dragons.

In the future, there are also dreams of building the venue up to a capacity of 32,000, near the average of a Premier League club.

FGG says: The future is bright for Wrexham

Just three years ago, Wrexham were plying their trade in the National League, battling it out with Notts County for the fifth-tier title.

Now in November 2025, Parkinson's men are competing with the very best in the Championship as they look to mount a playoff push.

Just under a third into the campaign, Wrexham have shown signs that they could finish in the top six during the 2025-26 term.
