Wrexham A.F.C. has officially appointed Lee Solomon as a director, marking a significant step in the club's ongoing development. Solomon, an executive at Apollo Sports Capital, was initially appointed on February 6, 2026, but the formal filing was completed on June 10, 2026. This appointment follows Apollo's investment in Wrexham, where they acquired a minority stake valued at approximately $468 million. Solomon expressed enthusiasm about being part of Wrexham's journey and supporting the club and its community. The investment aims to provide long-term capital to help Wrexham A.F.C. achieve its goals and enhance local facilities and the economy. One of the primary reasons for this investment is to finance the redevelopment of the Racecourse Ground, particularly the construction of the new Kop Stand. This project, which began in 2025, is expected to cost around $95 million and will increase the stadium's capacity to 7,750 seats. Wrexham A.F.C. is contributing approximately $67.62 million to this project, aided by a $23.46 million grant from the Welsh government. The club's plans for the new stand are part of a broader initiative to revitalize the area and meet UEFA Category 4 requirements for hosting international matches. Despite facing delays, Wrexham A.F.C. is committed to maximizing this opportunity to create a landmark facility for fans and the community.
