Five places for Wrexham AFC fans to visit out in Sydney

Five places for Wrexham AFC fans to visit out in Sydney

Leader Live16 hours ago
Joe Faux, a summer addition made by the Silkmen - managed by former Reds' player Lee Fowler - is a Sydneysider and he has provided supporters Down Under with his list of five places to visit while in the city.
Wrexham opened their pre-season tour with a match against Melbourne Victory on Saturday and they will next come up against Sydney FC on Tuesday.
Reds' fans in Sydney looking for something to do during the build-up to the game have plenty of things they can do!
Faux said: "I would definitely go to Circular Quay and walk around the opera house and harbour bridge.
"You can do a ferry from there as well under the bridge or around to Manly, which is another nice area in the north shore."
Continuing his tour, Faux said: "I would do the coastal walk from Coogee to Bondi and stop at each beach along there for a swim or to eat or drink, or whatever you feel like."
Stop three on Faux's tour of his home city is somewhere for people to get a sense of Sydney.
"Go to the Queen Victoria Building (QVB) in the middle of the city to shop or walk around and get a sense of the city."
Fans are well covered when it comes to bar and restaurants too.
"Darling Harbour and Barangaroo is also a nice spot. Lot of good bars and restaurants there for a night out and it's a nice walk. They have a zoo and aquarium there as well," added Faux.
Concluding the tips, he added: "Last one is the botanic gardens, right next to the opera house.
"Get great views from the harbour and again, it's a nice park to walk, few little animals and greenery in there as well."
Faux, whose parents are going to the game to support the home club on Tuesday, also played locally for Cefn Druids and Connah's Quay Nomads.
The 28-year-old tricky wide player started out with Bolton Wanderers U23s and he first entered the Welsh system in the summer of 2019.

Sunday's briefing: Just another game for Greenwood while Gyokeres faces sanction

Arsenal target Viktor Gyokeres is facing disciplinary action for failing to turn up to pre-season training for Sporting Lisbon. Andy Carroll has completed a surprise move to join Dagenham and Redbridge, while Sweden finished top of Group C at the Euros with a resounding 4-1 defeat of Germany.

Wales head coach Rhian Wilkinson is 'excited' for their clash with England at the Euros 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 — Sky Sports Football (@SkyFootball) July 12, 2025 Alex Greenwood admitted the big rivalry billing for England's final Euro 2025 group-stage encounter might hold more weight for their Welsh opponents than it does for her. A win against Wales – the lowest-ranked team in the tournament – would be enough to book England a place in the quarter-finals. Wales need a victory of four goals or more, as well as France beating the Netherlands, to progress. Wales captain Angharad James, who was asked if she wanted to knock England out, said: 'Of course you do. It's in our blood. It's in our DNA.' But quizzed as to whether or not she felt the same sense of rivalry, Greenwood conceded: 'Maybe not as much. I think, for me personally, it's another game.'

Gyokeres, who scored 39 league goals to fire Sporting to the Portuguese title last season, is understood to be at the top of Arsenal's wish list. However, the two clubs are yet to agree a transfer fee. Sporting president Frederico Varandas told Portuguese news agency LUSA: 'If they don't want to pay Viktor's fair market value, we'll be very comfortable with that for the next three years. 'If the geniuses who are devising this strategy think that this puts pressure on me to make it easier for him to leave, not only are they completely wrong, but they are also making it more complicated for the player to leave.

Defending European champions England will look to avoid an early exit in their clash with Wales. England know a win will secure their place in the quarter-finals while Wales need a big victory and help from France. The Group D fixtures kick off at 8pm BST.
