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.
Vittoia schiacciante contro gli odiati rosanero che vengono regolati con i gol di Cordone e Oliveira. Sulla panchina rossazzurra sedeva una vecchia volpe del calcio come John Benjamin Toshack.

He is the all-time leading record-goalscorer for Cymru with 33 goals to his name, and it was back in March 2018 that Gareth Bale broke Ian Rush's record of 28 goals for his country. The Real Madrid star has scored a number of crucial goals on the international stage since his first strike against Slovakia in Cardiff as a teenager back in 2006, but his performances and general influence on the squad has been just as important in achieving qualification for two consecutive EURO finals. Playing under John Toshack, Gary Speed, Chris Coleman and Ryan Giggs, Bale has been a consistent key player for each national team manager. Recently taking the captains armband, the four-time UEFA Champions League winner is regarded as one of the all-time greats, if not the greatest, to wear the Cymru shirt. In the latest in a series of features for FAW.cymru, here's a look back of five pivotal goals that Bale has scored for Cymru over the course of his career to date, starting with that memorable free-kick that started a run that would eventually break the international record.

Swansea City 2-0 Manchester City Football League Division One Date: 17 April, 1982 Swansea City's unexpected title push continued as the top-of-the-table Swans beat FA Cup finalists Manchester City at The Vetch Field. Midfielder Gary Stanley gave John Toshack's men the lead with a superb long-range effort before striker Bob Latchford, who scored 12 goals in his first season in south Wales, tapped in the second from Robbie James' cross. But Swansea, who face Man City in their opening Premier League game in August, only won one of their remaining six games as Toshack's team finished a creditable sixth in their first season in the top-flight.
