Wrexham have announced that initial work on the new Kop Stand at the Stok Cae Ras will begin later this month.
The club have appointed McLaren Construction Midlands and North under a Pre-Construction Services Agreement for the work.
Work on the new stand was originally due to begin in 2023 but was delayed because of what the club called "additional complications".
Revised designs for the new 5,500-capacity Kop Stand were presented to Wrexham County Borough Council earlier this year, which were subsequently approved.
In July, the club submitted a further planning application for the installation of up to 2,250 further seats in the new stand.
That would take the potential capacity to 7,750 and take the overall capacity of the Stok Cae Ras to just over 18,000.
The new stand, along with other works planned at the stadium, will make Wrexham's ground fully compliant with Uefa category 4 stadium standards.
The work at the Stok Cae Ras, announced as one of the host venues for next summer's Uefa European Under-19 men's finals, is scheduled to be completed during the 2026-27 season.
Wrexham CEO Michael Williamson said: "The new Kop Stand will be the heart of the reimagined stadium - increasing capacity, enhancing the experience for fans, and anchoring our place in our home city and as part of the wider Gateway Partnership regeneration plans."
