Future and former Wrexham stars are set to be guests at a World Cup-inspired festival this weekend in Brymbo. 

As the nation prepares to be involved in its first World Cup since 1958, the FAW is encouraging local clubs to engage in a national festival. 

The Gwyl Cymru Festival has been set up by the FAW to get fans ready for the World Cup. 

Teams across Wales can offer various events and functions to engage with their players, parents, and the wider community.

Within Wrexham, Brymbo Lodge YFC are hosting a function on Sunday afternoon at the Brymbo Cons Club.

Doors open at 12.30pm, entry is free and there are a number of Wrexham stars of past and future to entertain the crowds. 

Reds legends Gareth Owen and Steve Watkin will be alongside upcoming Kai Evans in a Q&A session. 

There will also be a quiz, a raffle, food, and drink before taking in the opening game of the tournament. 

Kieran Howard from Brymbo Lodge YFC felt it was important the club engaged the community. 

He said: "As a club, we have always felt the need to be the hub of the community, and offer opportunities and events to everyone.

"We are welcoming everyone to this event and feel it's an opportunity after a tough two years to show that we are ever-present in supporting the community as a football club.

"The main aim is to work alongside FAW and promote the World Cup. But more importantly, show support for our National side with it being our first World Cup for 64 years.

"It's been a long time coming and this group of players will give it they're all out in Qatar like Jimmy Murphy's boys did in 58.

"It's important as a football within our community and Wrexham itself that Brymbo Lodge plays a part in. We see ourselves as a real hub for our community giving it opportunities and events like this one."
