A statement on the Wrexham AFC website said: “Wrexham AFC will host Chelsea in the Fifth Round of the Emirates FA Cup.
“The Red Dragons beat fellow Championship side Ipswich Town in the Fourth Round, thanks to a 34th minute Josh Windass strike, which was enough to earn victory over The Tractor Boys and progress to the Fifth Round for the first time since 1997.
“Wrexham and Chelsea last met in the FA Cup back in 1982, with The Blues coming out victorious after a second replay. However, the two sides have played since then – meeting twice in pre-season. The first time in front of 50,596 supporters at Kenan Stadium in 2023 and then again in the at Levi’s Stadium, the Superbowl LX venue, in 2024.
“All Fifth Round ties will take place on the weekend of Saturday March 7, with ticket information for the Cup tie released to supporters in the coming weeks.”
