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.

Football we’re playing is incredible
Free flowing, passing football. Looks brilliant.
Excellent. Let's take it into the league now. 🦢👍
Wow this was the shortest 8 mins of my life what a pleasure to watch.❤️❤️❤️
I’m trying so hard to not get carried away, but this really is exactly what we’ve all wanted for so long! Just superb!
Joy to watch. While it’s only readings youngsters and not a proper test for us it’s still nice to see some progression from the weekend. Yan Dhanda not getting enough praise in my opinion, superb today with 2 assists and even that little tackle at the end to win possession (something we often criticise him for not having in his locker). Maybe our new style will suit him well, although plenty more to prove YJB
What happened since last Saturday when we looked rubbish – Are Blackburn amazing – Reading hopeless – Swans reborn…I don't know but whatever is going on it's amazing. Great win boys and lovely lovely football again!
King is back⚡️👍👍
Playing some excellent stuff,we’ll only get better with time,hard to think we were so held back under Cooper
Against Blackburn we were so unlucky but now the manager and the team know how to play and we are gonna play beautiful football
Bidwell and Dhanda linked up beautifully🔥🦢
Brilliant from the Swans! The Swansea Way is back – love it!!!
Shame PSG just beat us to sign Messi
When roberts comes back he will fit in excellently at rwb
Still early days there will be mistakes in the championship games but that's expected….72 percent possession in both games so far. Looks promising exciting times.
Was skeptical on Saturday but this was beautiful football.
Russell Martinez
Fans were unreal
Thought Whittaker looked good on the ball. Give him an extended run alongside Piroe happy days.
Brilliant from Swansea. They just have to be consistent now.
couldn't do it against us hahahahaha
What a draw … Swansea v Plymouth , bet you Swansea fans were jumping all over the place … lol
Dhanda🔥
Can the commentary be any less exciting?
Shooting practice all week
Piroe looks phenomenal!!! I really hope he keep fighting for the spot 🔥🔥🔥
This commentator sounds like he couldn't get excited in a brothel
