Swansea City were founded in 1913 as Swansea Town. Their most successful years have been since the 1980s when under their then player-manager John Toshack, they were promoted to the old First Division in 1981 and won three consecutive Welsh Cups and also made an appearance in the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup.

Swansea won the Capital One Cup at Wembley Stadium in 2013, beating Bradford City 5-0 in the final, less than two years after their promotion to the Premier League.
