History


The current team was reformed as Team Swansea in 2011 by students from Swansea University. In the period since the club's reformation, the club has achieved six promotions, two Gwalia cups, one Senior Cup and two West Wales Cups, including a 10-0 win in the 2015 final.

In 2017 the club sealed the Swansea Senior League championship and West Wales Cup double in May 2017, securing their return to the Welsh Football League in a play-off against Neath & District League champions Cwm Wanderers.

In May 2018 the club was promoted to Welsh Football League Division Two as Champions.[1] They followed this up in April 2019 by gaining promotion to the new Cymru South as runners-up in Division Two.[2] They were also awarded the divisional fair play award for the season.[3]

In May 2020 they were crowned champions of Cymru South after the curtailment of the season as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic.[4]

University College Swansea/ Swansea University


Swansea University has a Welsh League heritage dating back to the 1960s, when under its previous guise as the University College Swansea. The University first entered the Welsh League in the 1966–67 season winning Division Two in their first season. In the 1967–68 season they finished runners-up in Division One to seal promotion to the Premier Division in just two seasons. They were relegated at the end of the 1968–69 season but were again promoted as Division One Champions. In 1971–72 they were relegated again, remaining in Division One until 1978 when they were relegated to Division Two. The club remained in the Welsh league until 1985 when it left the league.[12]
