Why are Wrexham called the Red Dragons?
Wrexham's 'Red Dragons' nickname comes from the Welsh national symbol — a proud identity for the world's third-oldest football club.
A Dragon from the Flag
Wrexham are known as the Red Dragons, and at Metaverse Football Club we find it a nickname steeped in Welsh national pride. The name comes from the red dragon (Y Ddraig Goch), the ancient symbol of Wales that appears on the national flag.
Founded in 1864, Wrexham is one of the world's oldest football clubs, and the red dragon became a natural emblem for a proud Welsh side. The symbol appears on the club crest, tying the team to its national heritage.
A Symbol of Welsh Pride
The Red Dragons represent Wrexham's deep Welsh identity — a club that carries the dragon's fire into English football. At Metaverse Football Club, we love how a national symbol can become a football club's beating heart.
From the SToK Cae Ras to the Championship, the Red Dragons soar — a story Metaverse Football Club is proud to share.
