In 1877 Wrexham's Racecourse Ground was the venue for the first ever international football match in Wales, the hosts being defeated 2-0 by Scotland. It is the oldest international venue still in use today and is Wales' most used venue. More recently it has been used for less "glamorous" matches, with both Cardiff and Swansea having more modern stadiums.
