Wrexham manager Jenny Sugarman said:

Speaking to the official club website, manager Jenny Sugarman said: “Incredibly proud, incredibly excited, and ready to test myself alongside my fantastic team of staff. I get to represent them in these moments.

“This for me is the biggest game of my career as a Manager, without a doubt, and because of what it represents. You have to be champions to take part in the Champions League qualifying path, and when you say it like that, it brings a lot of pride, a lot of excitement, and probably a little bit of pressure as well.

“That’s an internal pressure that we put on ourselves, because we really want to be the best that we can be.

She added: “I don’t know what could be more important if you’re a Wrexham local, a Wrexham fan, or just somebody who’s got the kids on school holidays, than playing your part in history, expect a really good game of football, I expect there to be goals, and I expect it to be exciting.

“We wear this same badge, we’re part of this Club, we connect with the community. Get your brothers and your sisters and your aunties and uncles and your grandparents, and get down here on Wednesday night. Help us do something no Welsh women’s team has ever done before.”
