Wrexham AFC Women: Statement

The club has spoken out following a number of unsavoury comments published on social media at the weekend relating to Wrexham AFC Women’s amazing success in winning a first Adran Premier League title.

Wrexham AFC statement –  Sexist and Misogynistic Comments

Wrexham AFC is immensely proud of what our women’s first team achieved on Sunday by winning the Adran Premier for the first time. It was an historic, defining moment for our Club, earned through years of commitment, resilience and excellence from our players, staff and supporters. That is, and will remain, the story of this weekend.

We are aware of sexist and misogynistic comments shared online following the match. Let us be clear: such views have no place in football, in our Club, or in society. They do not represent who we are, what we stand for, or the overwhelming support behind this team.

We will not allow this behaviour to overshadow a great moment for women’s football in Wales. Our focus remains firmly on celebrating our players and continuing to grow the game.

We are also disappointed with some organisations who choose to paint the domestic game here in Wales in a negative light. Both in the men’s and women’s domestic game, a lot of impactful work is being done, but very rarely do those stories get championed.

We stand unequivocally with our players and staff. Their professionalism, character and success deserve to be celebrated. As a Club, we will always support and protect them, and we will continue to promote an environment that is inclusive, welcoming and respectful for all.

Wrexham AFC will not tolerate discrimination of any kind. Those who hold or express such views are not part of our community. If supporters are identified, then we will ban individuals from all Wrexham AFC sites.
