Chelsea FC, Wrexham AFC Share Historic Event With UNC, Kenan Stadium

Posted Jul 24, 2023
Wednesday’s historic event gave UNC football’s home the look and feel of a soccer game. The fans that typically walked around in Carolina blue were instead donning blue Chelsea jerseys and red Wrexham jerseys. The Bell Tower still peeked outside of the stadium, but rather than the yard markers on the turf, new boundaries and boxes were traced. (Inside Carolina)
