The club was formed in 1979 from two street teams in Borras Park;
Clark Road and Monmouth Road. The chairman and Manager at that
time was Mr Bob Groom and his wife Shelagh (Administrator). They
are now presidents of the club.

After the first year of being formed a trip was organised to New York
and Borras played in a very large football tournament in Long Island.
The following year a twinning was formed between TUS Plettenberg
in Germany. Plettenberg is South East of Cologne, 24 km from
Ludenscheid. There are many exchanges in existence but this has
probably been the most successful April 2020 both Borras Park
Albion and TUS Plettenberg will celebrate 40 years of Football
Exchange partnerships and friendships. Approximately 800+
Children from Borras have visited Plettenberg and 800+ from
Plettenberg have visited Borras.

From this small beginning the club has grown and entered the
Wrexham and District Youth Football League. We now run teams in
all age groups from U8's to U16's and in some cases there are
multiple teams in the age groups. Each weekend over 290 players
turn out for Borras Park Albion making it one of the largest
Grassroots football clubs in North Wales.

The home colours are typically Yellow Shirts with Royal Blue Shorts
and Socks .[1]
:
The club joined the newly formed North East Wales Football League
in 2020 as a Championship club.[2] They resigned from the league's
first season, 2021–22, towards the end of the season, in April 2022.

The club continues to exist playing junior level sides.
