Swansea in Europe.

[Jacko93]

Ok, so IF Swansea win at the weekend, they get a European place. UEFA have ruled that for all games in their competition they have to display the St Georges Flag, not the Welsh Dragon, as they qualified through the English league system. You can bet they're not particularly happy about that.

But it got me thinking, I wonder if Glasgow Rangers or Celtic had considered anything like that for if they were to get their wish and join the English league. I couldn't imagine them standing for flying the St Georges Flag at their home games.

Official - Swansea are ENGLISH! Welsh side will have to fly St George's cross in Europe warn UEFA

Victory over Bradford in the League Cup Final will put Swans in the Europa League - where they'd be described as a team from England by organisers

What's occurring? Swansea face a Europa League identity crisis

UEFA risks the ire of Swansea fans after saying the Welsh side could enter Europe with an English flag next to their name, writes the Sunday People.

If City beat Bradford in next Sunday’s Capital One Cup final they will return to Europe for the first time since 1991.

But there could be fury in the Valleys, after UEFA said the Liberty Stadium club would be classed as English.

A UEFA spokesman said: “It would be up to the FA if Swansea take a Europa League position instead of an English club. If the FA give it to Swansea they will have an English flag by their name.”

An FA spokesman said: “Swansea would qualify as representatives of the English FA.”

Fully expect next season's European kit for Swansea to be a welsh flag.

 

[Huyton Layne]

I thought themselves and Cardiff weren't allowed enter europe, was it not said before their f.a.cup final that had they beaten Portsmouth, Cardiff wouldn't have gained entry into europe?

Yep, UEFA promised to give them a wildcard entry kopite style though.

Rules have changed since then. Cariff and swansea are now officially english and are treated as such.
