Wrexham AFC, with 158 years of history behind it, is the oldest football club in Wales, the third oldest in the world. In the immense legacy of such a long history, moments of glory and decline, triumph and defeat are inevitably included. An integral and fundamental part of the city it represents, the club has been owned for almost a decade by its own fans, who supported it in every way, even in the most delicate moments. Macron, a partner since 2016, will also take to the field alongside the Red Dragons on May 22 next, in an attempt to write a new page in Welsh football history.

Thanks to the two goals scored in extra time by Paul Mullin in the semi-final against Stockport County, Whrexham has indeed secured the right to play at Wembley in the FA Trophy final, the knockout competition involving the four semi-professional leagues of English football. A unique opportunity to update the club’s record, which already boasts, among other trophies, 23 Welsh Cups and 5 FAW Premier Cups.

The victory in the semi-final was a classic British football fairytale, and in particular in the wonderful action of the first goal, scored in the 91st minute, many of the values for which Macron is proud as a partner of the club are captured: resilience, determination, willpower, talent, intuition.

The arc drawn in the air by Mullin’s sublime shot, which is geometrically similar to the Wembley arch under which Wrexham will play the final, is not only an expression of refined technical skill, but also the elegant manifestation of the hard work, consistency and awareness that lie behind every victory.

Good luck for the final; we will be by your side.
