Wrexham AFC joins an elite list of sporting clubs that utilise the companies' FORZA football equipment, including Premier League outfits Manchester United, Manchester City, West Ham, Newcastle, and Southampton. Net World Sports most recently saw its equipment being used on the world's biggest stage, the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
In 2021, the business cemented its long-term future in the newly named city through the announcement of its new £25m, 411,000sq ft office and warehouse development located less than a mile away from their current site on Wrexham Industrial Estate, and just five miles away from the famous Racecourse Ground. A growing workforce and 10,000+ product range meant the company had outgrown its current 130,000sq ft site.

"Within our team, we have some big Wrexham AFC fans and season ticket holders, so as you can imagine this is a welcomed partnership by many.

"We're hugely excited to see our equipment being used throughout the club and hopefully aid the team to a well-deserved promotion!"
On the partnership, Wrexham AFC CEO Fleur Robinson added: “We are pleased to welcome Net World Sports as our new Official Football Goal and Training Equipment Partner.
"It is great to be partnering with a locally-based company, from the ‘big building’ on the industrial estate, with widespread ambitions that tie in with the club’s own ethos and goals.”
As part of the partnership, Net World Sports will supply a wide range of training equipment to the men's team, as well as supplying new team shelters to Wrexham AFC's Women's team.
This partnership will also see the company supply its FIFA/UEFA Elite Stadium Football Goals to the Racecourse Ground. These goals can be found in some of the most prestigious stadiums in the world, including Old Trafford and St James' Park.
