SWANSEA CITY

Swansea City Association Football Club is a Welsh professional football club based in Swansea, Wales and was founded in 1912 as Swansea Town and they play their home matches at the Liberty Stadium.

One of the most successful clubs in Welsh football and one of only two Welsh clubs to have competed in the top flight of English football, and the only and first one to have played in the Premier League.

Swansea City and its supporters are unofficially known as 'Jacks'. One explanation for this name is that during the 17th century, sailors from Swansea were respected and any 'Swansea Jack' was allowed to join the crew based simply on the town's reputation for good sailors. Many, however, believe that the name originates from the renowned life-saving dog Swansea Jack.
