Wrexham A.F.C.'s experienced defender Sarah Harvey believes the club's historic Women's Champions League debut can be just the start, saying, 'We're not shy of the big games any more.' Jenny Sugarman's side, crowned Welsh champions last spring, have been handed a tough first qualifying round assignment against Pyunik, the Armenian champions for the past three years. The winners of the July 22 showdown will then meet whoever prevails in the other semi-final between Glentoran and Riga, champions of Northern Ireland and Latvia, for a place in the next qualifying stage. All the ties will be staged at the same venue, possibly the Racecourse Ground. Should unseeded Wrexham upset the odds and progress, a semi-final against Danish champions Koge would be next up in another mini-tournament also featuring Gintra of Lithuania and Scotland's Hearts. It's also five years — and eight games — since an Adran Premier League side even scored in Europe's premier competition, Chloe Chivers the last to do so when netting for Swansea City in a 4-1 defeat to CSKA Moscow. Competing in the Champions League qualifiers will be the latest notable step forward for a women's setup that was effectively mothballed just a decade ago due to lack of funds. Relaunched in 2018, Wrexham's revival gathered pace following Reynolds and Mac's takeover three years later. Promotion to the Welsh top flight — a primarily amateur and semi-professional competition, in contrast to the fully professional Women's Super League in England — followed in 2023. Since then, further investment has secured a long-term permanent home for the team at the Rock, the 3,000-capacity former home of Cefn Druids bought by Wrexham last year, as well as the signings that helped land the club's first league title when Cardiff City, champions in each of the previous three seasons, were thrashed 4-1 in March. 'To win one trophy is amazing,' says Harvey. 'To win two is indescribable. To do it with a club like Wrexham, that has the community and the fans like we do, is so special and meaningful. My friends in Canada or my family in Ireland and Scotland can follow us and get behind us because of how well Wrexham promotes the women's teams. It's like our 12th man.' Next month's foray into Europe will stir memories of previous European campaigns for the men's team, Wrexham having competed in eight editions of the European Cup Winners' Cup between 1972 and 1995. Along the way, notable scalps were claimed by the serial Welsh Cup winners, with the aggregate victory over Porto in 1984 a clear highlight along with reaching the quarter-finals. The club's women's team is now looking to make its own mark in European competition, with Harvey and her teammates eager to take on the challenge. The draw for the qualifying round has set up an exciting encounter between Wrexham and Pyunik, with the winner advancing to the next stage. The match is scheduled to take place on July 22, and the venue will be announced on Friday following a meeting of the four clubs. Wrexham's players and staff are busy preparing for the big game, with Harvey saying, 'It's so exciting to see the calibre of teams from all the different countries. As soon as we pulled Pyunik, I'm like, 'Where are they from?' It's very exciting to look at their history. We're coming off a double-winning season, how do we play against them? What's our tactics?' The answer to that question will be revealed on July 22, when Wrexham takes on Pyunik in the Women's Champions League qualifying round.
