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.

Typical Swansea as soon we get in with a chance of playoffs we throw it away by losing to the worst team in the league
Cooper isn’t the man to lead us forward
Why are we so inconsistent we win 1 and then lose the next to bottom of the league. It sums us up really!
Shocking game by cabango, absolutely lost his head.
Coaching they shouldn't lose this game
This happens when coach are arrogant and not include in the team a player like Celina, who is one of the most talented player in the team and who can make the difference in the game.!
The hatters had more reason to win.
Awful commentary, they seem to know the names of just four Swansea players and just 3.5 Luton players (0.5 accounting for referring to 'Butterworth' whose mame is Butterfield). They didn't even know the name of the goal scorer.
Same old swansea
Can everyone watch my video it will make me feel better after that
That was not a slap
Jacob Butterworth
The only exciting thing about that game was the fight
we need another player like ayew
Most scary last 10 mins of my life. Town are staying up
Garrick has a little slap! That’s an attempted punch you tossers. You’re shit. Deal with it. At least Cardiff have a firm. They batter Swansea don’t they. Shameful being the local bullied club. You’d have lots in common with watfud.
C'mon you Hatters….
