Southampton matchday dedicated to Swansea City AFC Foundation
Swansea City’s home match against Southampton on Saturday (12.30pm kick-off) will be dedicated to the work of Swansea City AFC Foundation.
The Swans host the Saints in the Championship’s televised early kick-off this weekend and, to mark the EFL's newly-launched round of fixtures designed to put the spotlight on the work of club's community organisations.
At Swansea we will focus on the numerous projects and initiatives the Foundation deliver throughout our city and the wider locality, with a number of activations and activities taking place around the ground.
