Swansea City Association Football Club, commonly known simply as Swansea, was founded in 1912 as Swansea Town before adopting its current name in 1969. Based in Swansea, Wales, the club’s early years were spent in lower English divisions, gradually building a reputation for resilience and entertaining football. Their historic home was Vetch Field for nearly a century until moving to the Liberty Stadium (later renamed the Swansea.com Stadium) in 2005, symbolizing a new era of ambition.

Swansea’s fortunes soared in the early 21st century, culminating in promotion to the Premier League in 2011, making them the first Welsh club to participate in the modern top flight. Under the guidance of managers like Brendan Rodgers and Michael Laudrup, the Swans became known for their stylish, passing game, often referred to as the “Swansea Way.” A major highlight was winning the League Cup in 2013, cementing their status as a proud, competitive Welsh force in English football.
