Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac continue to take advantage of Wrexham’s newfound global reach.
After previous trips to North America, Wrexham have travelled to Australia and New Zealand for their 2025 pre-season.
The Red Dragons beat Melbourne Victory 3-0 in their opening match of the summer.
They had less success in their following outing early this week, losing 2-1 to a rotated Sydney team.
After leaving Australia, they have made the journey to New Zealand, and Wrexham will face Wellington Phoenix in their final friendly of the trip on July 19.
Wellington Phoenix make classy gesture to Wrexham
The game will be available to stream on YouTube and kicks off for fans in the United Kingdom at 6am.
One Wellington Phoenix player was rivals with a Wrexham star earlier in his career, and the two could meet once more on Saturday.
Ahead of the tie, it has been revealed that the New Zealand outfit have made a brilliant gesture to Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac’s club.
The Athletic reports that, while Wrexham are in town, Wellington have renamed their training pitch The Racecourse (the name of the Dragons’ stadium).
Meanwhile, the away side’s locker room has pictures and numbers for each of Phil Parkinson’s players, and there are also pictures of The Turf (the pub made famous in Welcome to Wrexham).

Wellington Phoenix star on facing Wrexham
Wellington Phoenix will bring their ‘A game’ against Wrexham, Josh Oluwayemi has stated ahead of the pre-season friendly.
He said: “It’s a great opportunity for everybody, so everyone is going to have their A-game and everyone is going to try and give it their all.
“We’re hoping to feed off the energy in the stadium and it will be a brilliant opportunity for all of the lads.”
Wrexham have injury problems before Wellington, and could be without a number of key players, including Jay Rodriguez, Sam Smith, Modou Faal, Ollie Rathbone and Ryan Hardie.
