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.

Mistakes at the back costing goals yet again.
Syykes with Bristol's first . O'leary was the Bristol player referred to as "the keeper". Head of Swans TV should be sacked along with Anthony and Wyndham. I see no reason to accept "dumbing down". Levien promised "best in practice in eveyrhing we do" . Swans TV is not it. Their two biggest stars are Obafemi and Patterson. the sulk brothers who did a cheeky 'chappie routine' for Swans TV. Trundle is of course free a of all criticism as is Cyril the Swan.
Great home support 🤣🤣
Can anyone name a good thing this club has done since the current owners bought the club?
Super Oli Cooper
Boring boring Swansea. Pass pass pass around the back and midfield with no urgency to get forward. To easy to play against. Yet Martin thinks we dominate the game. No they let us have the ball cause we do absolutely nothing with it. On borrowed time Martin
Pathetic defending and Fisher??? What a waste of space he is as a keeper. Utter tripe.
From a Bristol city fan idk why u lot are crying it's a cup game and you can easily push for playoffs so it's a blessing in disguise
Nice to see Congreve play, was hoping Cotterill would come on too but ah well
Based on the highlights it seems that it was a case of smash and grab for Bristol City. By the way the pitch looks like shit. The Ospreys should go and play down St Helens.
I don't even blame RM. Just like Cooper he's not getting enough support and backing. We need better owners. We need new faces. We can be a decent side when we need to be. But I can see difficult times ahead for us 🙃
Ambition is Critical! 😊
I love Swansea! 💕
