The new Macron 2025/26 training wear will debut today as the men's first-team players take to the training pitch at the Home of the Matildas, Melbourne – the first training base on the Wrexham Down Under Tour.
The new red-and-teal coloured range, with a red Wrexham AFC club badge, will all feature the Ancestry logo on the front.
The range includes training kits, travel wear and an eye-catching warm-up top that draws its design from Welsh history, with a pattern inspired by traditional Welsh tartan.
'We're delighted to welcome Ancestry as our new Official Club Partner now featuring on the front of the club's new training wear,' said Michael Williamson, Wrexham AFC CEO.
