Wrexham secured promotion to the EFL Championship — the second tier of English football — for the first time since 1982 with a 3-0 win over Charlton Athletic. Owned by Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, Wrexham achieved a historic third consecutive promotion, becoming the first team in England’s top five divisions to do so. Early goals from Ollie Rathbone and Sam Smith set the tone for the victory, with Smith later adding a third. The win, combined with Wycombe’s earlier loss, guaranteed Wrexham second place in League One. Their rise has been boosted by the global attention from the “Welcome to Wrexham” series, and now they’ll compete against major clubs like Southampton and Leicester City next season.
