Swansea City (/ˈswɒnzi ˈsɪti/; Welsh: Clwb Pêl-droed Dinas Abertawe) is a Welsh football club based in the city of Swansea, which competes in the Premier League. The club was founded in 1912 as Swansea Town,[1] and competed in the Southern Football League until they were elected to The Football League in 1920, as founders of the Third Division. The club changed its name in 1969, when it adopted the name Swansea City to reflect Swansea's new status as a city.[2] In 2010, after winning a Championship Play-off final, Swansea became the first Welsh team to compete in the Premier League.

Swansea's first Southern Football League match was against Cardiff City and they met their 117th and most recent different league opponent, Milton Keynes Dons, for the first time in the 2005–06 Football League season. The team that Swansea have played most in league competition is Plymouth Argyle, who they first met in the 1919–20 Southern Football League season; the 33 wins from 82 meetings is more than they have achieved against any other club. Bristol Rovers and Brighton & Hove Albion have each drawn 23 league encounters with Swansea, more than any other club. The club has been defeated the most by Southampton who have defeated the Swans 32 times.
