Wrexham AFC European Cup Winners Cup Results
Up until the beginning of the 90’s,the winners of the Welsh Cup were entered into the European Cup Winners Cup. After the creation of the Welsh Premiere League, any team that wished to enter the Welsh Cup had to play in the Welsh pyramid system, and Wrexham, and the 5 other Welsh clubs that ply their trade in the English system lost their right to enter European competition in this way. The table shows Wrexham’s record in Europe, which, considering we were a lower league team for these years, would still be the envy of many of our more illustrious neighbours.
One day, we’ll be back…..
