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.

Obafemi had a good game 👏
Go on Swans! Been a Sunderland fan for a good 25 years but I have to say Swansea City is my second team in "England". Playing good football, nice crest and great kit (especially the away one). That's enough! /All the best from Sweden
More than time for VAR at this level. Andy Fisher absolutely outstanding. Good resolve from the lads, get Pato fit, get Allen starting in midfield, and just have maybe one more competent fullback in before the window closes and we are absolutely flying.
Var needs to be in the championship
That ref was in a good position and had clear sight , and gave a penalty for a dive. What a dodgy beaut , justice was done in the end . Great save Andy .
Obafemi has improved very much but i really want piroe to take more shots
Ball don't lie!
This was much much better and a massive improvement but obafemi has missed another sitter
he dived if you put it in slow mo you can see the dive but great save andy
this ref has given so many poor / dodgy decisions against us you have to wonder sometimes
Shocking decision for Blackpool's penalty. Keeper dives early, but they mostly all do. Too many schoolboy errors by Swans defenders. A better team than Blackpool would have punished them. Still, a first win for the mighty Swans'.
Imagine actually diving these days and getting away with it 🤡
0 x 1 Swansea City was little, for the first time it could have been 3 or 4 !!!!!!!!!!!!
Grimshaw "the keeper" Bowler missing the chances. Anthony needs to retire. He was great on Swansea Sound back in the day with my little transistor. I recall he told me about a 17 year old David Nugent who ripped Swansea to shreds in a 1-3 loss to Bury at the Vetch around 2002. I though "Ay up who s this kid?" Anthony filled in the blanks. He cannot be bothered any more it seems. "Good stop by the keeper" is not commentating I can see it. "Good stop by Grimshaw" is the added value.
First opening chance and WHY does the Swansea player take a touch INSTEAD OF STRIKING THE SHOT FIRST TIME …. CAN’T these players strike a rolling ball ?? Ffs time and time again strikers NOT taking the shot first time ..,,, COME ON ???
