About our Swansea City news
Latest news on Swansea City, covering the Swans' Championship fixtures, results, transfers, match reports, and updates from the Welsh football club.
Based in South Wales, Swansea City Association Football Club competes in the EFL Championship, the second tier of English football. Founded in 1912 as Swansea Town, the club adopted its current name in 1970 when Swansea gained city status. The Swans play their home matches at the Swansea.com Stadium, a 21,000-capacity venue that has been their home since 2005.
The club has experienced remarkable highs and challenging lows throughout its history. Swansea's finest achievement came in 2013 when they won the League Cup, defeating Bradford City 5-0 at Wembley to claim the first major trophy in the club's 101-year history. That triumph, under manager Michael Laudrup, came during a seven-season spell in the Premier League from 2011 to 2018. The club's European adventure included a memorable 3-0 victory against Valencia at the Mestalla Stadium during their UEFA Europa League campaign.
Recent years have brought significant changes to Swansea City, both on and off the pitch. In November 2024, American investors Brett Cravatt, Jason Cohen, Andy Coleman and Nigel Morris acquired majority control of the club. The ownership group has since attracted high-profile minority investors, including Real Madrid legend Luka Modrić, rapper Snoop Dogg, and lifestyle entrepreneur Martha Stewart, bringing global attention to the Welsh club as they compete for promotion back to the Premier League.
Swansea's history includes dramatic highs and lows across different eras. The club achieved their highest-ever league finish in 1981-82, placing sixth in the First Division after a remarkable four-year climb from the Fourth Division. However, decline followed, and by 2003 they faced extinction, narrowly avoiding relegation from the Football League with a final-day victory against Hull City. The subsequent recovery saw them climb from the bottom tier to the Premier League in eight years, achieving promotion in 2011.
Swansea's fierce rivalry with Cardiff City produces the South Wales derby, one of British football's most passionate fixtures. The club has also maintained strong connections with its supporters through the Swansea City Supporters' Trust, which retains a shareholding stake. The Swans' traditional playing style, emphasising possession-based football, has become a hallmark of the club's identity. With a rich history spanning over a century, ten Welsh Cup victories, and continued ambitions for Premier League return, Swansea City remains a significant presence in Welsh and English football.
