Wrexham have expanded their Racecourse Ground redevelopment plans after securing council approval for additional space around the new Kop Stand.
The club purchased extra land from the Welsh Government to create a wider public area near Crispin Lane, a move separate from plans to enlarge the Kop itself.
The new Kop Stand project is valued at £70m and will lift the Racecourse Ground capacity to more than 18,000, including 7,500 seats.
The stand will feature dressing rooms, media facilities and hospitality areas, according to BBC Sport Wales.
Club Prepares Facilities for Higher-Level Competition
Chief strategy officer Aidan Miller is overseeing the club's long-term development plans, including stadium upgrades and other infrastructure projects.
"The speed at which we've got through the leagues has been incredible," Miller told BBC Sport Wales.
Miller said the club is working to ensure its facilities develop alongside its progress on the pitch.
The Kop rebuild is intended to prepare the stadium for higher-level competition if Wrexham reach the Premier League.
"We are playing catch-up and we're trying to make ourselves ready for the next level," Miller said.
Wrexham have also invested in other locations, including improvements at the academy site at Darland High School in Rossett.
Further upgrades are underway at The Rock women's team base in Rhosymedre and a new first-team pavilion at Colliers Park.
"They're all important and big developments in their own right," Miller said.
Owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney have supported the club's expansion since completing their takeover in February 2022.
Chief executive Michael Williamson has said the stadium's ideal future capacity could reach between 26,000 and 29,000.
Wrexham also purchased The Turf pub beside the ground, a venue closely linked with the club's history and the documentary series Welcome to Wrexham.
Landlord Wayne Jones said the pub has become a destination for international visitors even on non-matchdays.
"This is actually a quiet day," Jones said.
Jones said visitors continue arriving from around the world because of the club's global profile and the connection between the pub, the stadium and Wrexham's history.
"Five, nearly six years, into all this and I still find it crazy," Jones said.
The Racecourse Ground is the oldest international football ground still in use, while Wrexham have moved from non-league football to the Championship after three successive promotions.
Construction of the Kop continues, with the new stand scheduled to be operational by the start of next season.
