Swansea.com Stadium to host charity match presented by Joseph’s Smile

Swansea City is delighted to announce the Swansea.com Stadium will play host to a Wales v England charity match presented by Joseph’s Smile.

The event, taking place on Saturday, May 11 (kick-off 3.30pm) will see a mixture of ex-professional footballers and local and national celebrities take to the pitch, with names to be revealed over the coming weeks.

Joseph’s Smile was set up in memory of Joseph Yeandle by his mother and aunt in August 2022.

Joseph was diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma in 2021 and the family were faced with not only having to deal with the fear and uncertainty of knowing that their son had a rare and aggressive form of cancer, but also with the knowledge that to give him the best chances of survival, they had to fundraise £300,000 to get him to America for potentially life-saving treatment.

Devastatingly, Joseph passed away before he was able to access the treatment but, through the power of the online community - locally and nationally - the campaign raised £200,000 which was later donated to Solving Kids Cancer following Joseph’s passing. 

This game, hosted at the Swansea.com Stadium by the charity, will ensure every child supported by each of the charities has access to the care and treatment they need.

The club is delighted to host the charity fixture and will act as the ticketing agent for this event, with tickets able to be purchased from our ticketing site here.
