History was made in Chapel Hill on Wednesday night as Chelsea and Wrexham traveled across the pound to play a friendly match at Kenan Memorial Stadium.
It was the first international soccer match at the stadium, drawing a crowd of just over 50,000 to check out the game ahead of the two team’s respective seasons that begin in August. While the game ended up being a blowout with a 5-0 Chelsea win, the atmosphere at Kenan was incredible.
The event was run well and getting the stadium and field together for the match came together perfectly. The hope is that more soccer events like this can take place in Chapel Hill now and it would be a great thing for everyone involved.
With the event over, let’s take a look at some photos from the match on what was a historic night in Kenan Memorial Stadium.
