Head coach Jenny Sugarman shared that there has been little time to celebrate Wrexham’s historic Women’s Champions League debut.

The team marked their first European appearance with a thrilling 4-2 victory against FC Pyunik in the first qualifying round semi-final at the Racecourse.

The Adran Premier champions now prepare to face Riga of Latvia in Saturday’s first qualifying round final, also at the Racecourse.

Sugarman remarked, “In football, you often don’t get much time to enjoy your moment do you? Because what comes, and the difference I guess here with our normal league season, is the turnaround time now of the next game.”

She added, “We definitely enjoyed the evening, definitely enjoyed the emotion of the evening with the crowd and everything there. But full focus moved to game two pretty quickly for the staff in particular.”

According to Sugarman, “It’s a full staff team effort and we do pride ourselves on no stone left unturned. We had already profiled Riga as an opposition, but they presented a little differently on Wednesday afternoon when we watched them live, which was also really helpful seeing that live.”
