The planning authority has given Wrexham AFC the go-ahead to increase the capacity of the new Kop Stand to 7,750 seats, enhancing the Racecourse Ground's venue status for major global events, such as international football. Work began on the stand in December 2025 and is set for completion by early 2027.
