consecutive membership of The Football League. Wrexham are perhaps most notable for an FA Cup upset
over reigning English Champions Arsenal in 1992 and a 1–0 victory over FC Porto in 1984 in the
European Cup Winners' Cup, Wrexham were eligible for the Cup Winners' Cup due to winning the Welsh
Cup, their first European tie was against FC Zürich of Switzerland in 1972 and their final European

Wrexham's honours include winning the Third Division title in 1977-8, the Welsh Cup a record 23 times,
the Football League Trophy in 2005 at the Millennium Stadium and the FA Trophy in 2013 at Wembley Stadium.
Wrexham are also record winners of the short-lived FAW Premier Cup, winning it five times out of the 11
years of its tenure, participating against fellow Welsh clubs such as; Cardiff City, Swansea City and
Newport County. Wrexham's home stadium, the Racecourse Ground, is the world's oldest international stadium
