- Published
The WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, North Carolina, is hosting The Soccer Tournament
A Wrexham side featuring current, former and guest players were beaten in the round of 16 at a $1m seven-a-side tournament in the USA.
Wrexham lost 4-3 to Conrad & Beasley United, a team led by ex-USA players Jimmy Conrad and DaMarcus Beasley.
Wrexham had claimed three straight victories to come through the group stage.
The Soccer Tournament features 32 teams competing for the winner-takes-all £807,000 prize from 1-4 June.
Wrexham beat Como 1907 3-2 and US Women 12-0 on Thursday before securing top spot in their group with a 8-1 win over Say Word FC on Friday.
Premier League teams West Ham United and Wolverhampton Wanderers, plus Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund, are some of the clubs involved.
The million-dollar winners of the tournament will be crowned on Sunday, 4 June.
The Dragons were led by current Wrexham first-team coach David Jones as the team's player-manager.
Club legend Andy Morrell, who as player-manager led them to FA Trophy victory in 2013, former striker Lee Trundle - who scored 34 times in 111 appearances for the north Wales club before joining Swansea City - and current goalkeeper Mark Howard provided plenty of experience.
Recent former players Mark Carrington, Paul Rutherford and Dan Jarvis were also part of the squad, whilst youngsters Scott Butler, Dan Jones and Louis Lloyd also travelled.
Former Scotland, Hull City and Burnley winger George Boyd, Greenock Morton's Liam Grimshaw, Nicholas Cavallo and Filip Mirkovic joined as guest players.
