FC United of Wrexham is an amateur football and futsal club based in Wrexham, Wales. They formerly played in the North East Wales Championship, the fifth tier of the Welsh football league system, and played home matches at Bronwens Green.
The club was founded in 2020 by Andrew Ruscoe, Tom Winsper, and Morgan Churchill, following the dissolution of the Brickfield Rangers futsal programme.
History
The club was jointly-founded in 2020 by former Prestatyn Town F.C. manager Andrew Ruscoe, referee Tom Winsper and former Wrexham AFC Women player, Morgan Churchill, following the disbanding of the Brickfield Rangers Futsal team.[1][2]
FC United of Wrexham was established with the ambition of becoming a competitive presence in futsal, ultimately aspiring to qualify for the UEFA Futsal Champions League. From its inception, the club prioritized the development of local talent through its youth futsal academy, providing a foundation for players to advance to elite levels.[3]
The club has historically focused on fostering both male and female players, emphasizing inclusivity and equal opportunities. Efforts to promote women’s futsal alongside the men’s game were central to its mission, ensuring balanced representation and growth within the sport.[4]
Through its youth development programs and competitive opportunities, FC United of Wrexham aimed to contribute to the growth of futsal in Wales. These initiatives were intended to help produce players capable of representing Welsh national futsal teams at the highest levels and elevate the club's status within European futsal competitions.[5]
On 20 January 2023, FC United of Wrexham opened a fundraiser to help their under-12s Futsal side get a new kit representing the key landmarks within Wrexham such as the St Giles parish church. Three days later Ryan Reynolds, actor and co-owner of Wrexham A.F.C., gave a £1,600 donation, above their fundraiser goal of £480.[6][7] In response to this, the club decided to add the Deadpool logo onto the sleeve of the shirt.[6][8][9][10]
The club managed a senior men’s football team which competed in the North East Wales League Championship Division, and male, female and junior futsal teams.[1] The club's youth teams are futsal-focused, although the club has future plans in both football and futsal.[2]
The club had Brad Miguel as a player who later played in the World Cup qualifiers for St Vincent and The Grenadines. The team has also produced players for Crewe Alexandra, Wrexham A.F.C., and Great Britain Futsal[clarification needed], as well as Ruscoe's managing club Prestatyn Town. The team plans to advance into the upper tiers of both Welsh football and futsal, while also securing grants to develop Bronwens Green, their home ground.[1][2]
In May 2023, the club had 80 members, and relied on fundraising efforts to support their £14,072 annual costs.[11] In August 2023, the club played a charity match with Wrexham Police FC, raising £11,000 for the Wrexham Children's ward, with £10,000 coming from Wrexham A.F.C. co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.[12]
The club resigned from the league in June 2023, stating an intention to focus working on reinstating their Men's Futsal side and further strengthening their current youth futsal academy.[13] In November 2023, it announced Red Roach Records as its new sponsor.[14]
In January 2024, the club controversially received a donation of £5,000 from Tristan Tate, brother of Andrew Tate who faced criminal charges at the time. Following criticism on receiving the donation, particularly from local organisations and with sponsors pulling support for the club, the club refunded the donation. The club stated the donation would've substantially helped them as they are not-for-profit and were operating at a loss in most months.[15] However, the club later made the decision to refund the donation reflecting on the club's ethos and values, apologising and then defended the refund. The club's chairman conducted various interviews stating that accepting the donation could not be justified, and was "not morally right".[16][17] Tate described the action as "disappointing" and claimed it was refunded due to a "public outcry".[17]
In March 2024, Welsh actor Michael Sheen donated £5,000 to the club, as part of its £12,000 goal on GoFundMe, set up due to the club's financial difficulties. The club described Sheen's donation as "a lifeline".[18]
