History
The current team was reformed as Team Swansea in 2011 by students from Swansea University. 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. They followed this up in April 2019 by gaining promotion to the new Cymru South as runners-up in Division Two. They were also awarded the divisional fair play award for the season.
In May 2020 they were crowned champions of Cymru South after the curtailment of the season as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic.
However, due to finishing 15th in the 2022-23 Cyrmu South, they were relegated into the Ardal Leagues, from 2023-24 onwards.
