Chelsea FC to play Wrexham in Chapel Hill

• The game will be played on July 19 as part of the FC Series.
• It will be Wrexham's second stop in the Triangle this summer. The team plans to participate in a 7-on-7 soccer tournament in Cary this June with a grand prize of $1 million.

Why it matters: It is rare that the Triangle has a chance to host an international team with Chelsea's stature — and it will be Kenan Stadium's first time hosting an international soccer match.

Of note: Chelsea president Tom Glick is the former president of Tepper Sports & Entertainment, the group that runs the Carolina Panthers and Charlotte FC.
