Swansea City Association Football Club is a Welsh professional football club based in the city of Swansea, South Wales that plays in the Championship. Swansea City represents England when playing in European competitions, although they have represented Wales in the past. They play their home matches at the Liberty Stadium.
The club was founded in 1912 as Swansea Town and joined the Football League in 1921. The club changed their name in 1969, when it adopted the name Swansea City to reflect Swansea’s new status as a city.
In 1981, the club were promoted to the original Football League First Division. It was during the following season they came close to winning the league title, but a decline then set near the season’s end before finishing sixth, although a club record. It was from here the club suffered a relegation the season after, returning to the Football League Fourth Division a few seasons later, then narrowly avoided relegation to the Football Conference in 2003. Prior to playing home matches at the Liberty Stadium, the team had previously hosted at the Vetch Field. The Swansea City Supporters Society Ltd owns 20% of the club, with their involvement hailed by Supporters Direct as “the most high profile example of the involvement of a supporters’ trust in the direct running of a club”.
In 2011, Swansea were promoted to the English Premier League, becoming the first Welsh team to play in the top division since its formation in 1992. On 24 February 2013, Swansea beat Bradford City 5-0 to win the 2012-13 Football League Cup (the competition’s highest ever winning margin for the final), winning the first major English trophy in the club’s history and qualifying for the 2013-14 UEFA Europa League.

Let go swans 🦢🔥🔥🔥
Wow a midfielder that progress the ball and is willing to run with it. Maybe Grimes and Fulton could learn how to do this
Great win. Perfect game. 3-0 lead, got scared after 3-2. Happy days after 4-2. Good job boys.
The ref caused that incident a match should always be stopped after a head injury.
Sack the muppet
What a terrible biased commentary. Shameful.
I'd love to meet that loud-mouthed 'commentator' who screams "Yessssss" in an obnoxiously loud, horrible accent and kick him in the nuts. Let's see if he shouts "Yessssssss" after that.
Love the commentary
If this recent form isn't a massive indicator that a. These RM haters need to go support another club, and b. You sure as hell be giving Russel some money to fill the void of players leaving this summer window to bolster the squad. If they owners had done it in January I'm pretty positive we'd easily be in the top 6 right now. We rue what could've been.
The only annoying thing for me is that the Swans were capable of this all season but they've left it too late. Great win though.
The ref let too many of their fouls go without booking them, this lead up to the trouble on the touch line. PNE are such a dirty team!
Who's the scouser doing the commentary?
If we sorted this out by the stoke game we’d be top 6
Wasn’t a head injury at all
YESSSSSS
we still have a change to make the playoffs, as we are 4 points off with 3 games left
Piroe will be a huge miss next season.
What an incredibly dirty side Preston were, absolutely shocking, the brawl was all due to abysmal refereeing. Shame on the Preston players for not stopping for a head injury. That fourth goal felt so sweet.
What a goal by Joe Allen though
On the seventh day God made Joey Allen
