Swansea City Association Football Club, a Welsh association football club based in the city of Swansea, was founded in 1912 under the name of Swansea Town and joined the Second Division of the Southern Football League. Following the First World War, the Southern League dropped its Second Division, and with many clubs dropping out due to financial difficulties, Swansea were placed in the First Division. After four seasons in the Southern League, Swansea Town became founder members of the new Third Division of the Football League in 1920. During the club's 106 year existence, it has competed in a number of nationally and internationally organised competitions, and all players who have played in 100 or more such matches are listed below.
