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.

Piroe’s goal was OUTSTANDING!!! If we keep this up the prem should be around the corner 👀
Anyone know where Keith Stroud does his shopping?
Piroe and ntcham are quality
Didn't think we were good enough for 3 points today. A poor performance against a poor side. We were awful in the first half. Cabango's distribution was awful at times. Created pretty much nothing. Didn't kill the game off and got punished.
worst officals in a long time
Lull?!
Yes we had another lull. In fact every time we take the lead we have a lull. We've been doing it for Seasons now – scoring then strolling around wasting time – and then the opponents get into the game and score and we keep losing Points. Sort it out!
It used to be that teams would play for 85 minutes, then if they were leading waste time for the last 5 minutes. Now Swansea have taken the art to another level by wasting time from the moment they score even if its 20 or 5 minutes into the game.
Dominate and Attack!!
Whilst is love the new logo, the old one was cool bc it was unique.
