Wrexham Museum is currently undergoing redevelopment for the addition of collections dedicated to Welsh association football.

The council stated they had a strong claim to the proposed museum, as they have available land for the project and Newtown A.F.C.

The National Football Development Centre at Colliers Park, in Gresford near Wrexham was opened in 2019.

[12] By May 2019, Dafydd Elis-Thomas, deputy Minister for Culture, Sport and Tourism in the Welsh Government announced Wrexham was the preferred option.

Opposition councillors from Plaid Cymru and Labour proposed the museum should be housed in a re-developed Kop End stand of Wrexham A.F.C's Racecourse Ground.

also said that they would prefer the museum not be housed in Kop End, so more parts of the redevelopment can go towards money raising facilities.

[15] In December 2020, the plans were clarified to be "advancing" following initial stalling of the project, related to the COVID-19 pandemic in Wales.

The team would collaborate with the Welsh Government and Wrexham Council to develop designs for the museum.

The project forecasts there would be an increase of 80,000 in Wrexham city centre's annual footfall following the completion of the football museum.
