The Rock is a football stadium in Rhosymedre, Wales. It is currently the home stadium for Cymru North teams Cefn Druids and Gresford Athletic FC, as well as Wrexham AFC Women.
In March 2009 planning permission was granted to demolish Cefn's old stadium, Plaskynaston Lane, and replace it with a Tesco supermarket.[2] Delays to the beginning of construction put the project back by 12 months and the club moved into the new stadium in August 2010.[3]
Cefn Druids and Gresford Athletic announced in March 2023 that they had signed a multi-year agreement to groundshare at the stadium, effective immediately and during at least the 23/24 season.[4]
In March 2023, it was announced that Wrexham AFC Women would move to The Rock in order to obtain a Tier 1 license.[5]
