The 2012–13 season will be Swansea City's fourth season in the top tier of English football, and their second consecutive season in the Premier League. It will be their 93rd season in the league system of English football.

The club will also celebrate its centenary, and to mark the occasion the club will release a new crest along with a new red, white and green away kit which depicts the colours of the Welsh flag.^[1] The home kit is designed to be golden coloured stripes which is very similar to the 2011–12 Real Madrid home kit due to the same Adidas design which also supplied Real Madrid.

During pre-season, Brendan Rodgers became the new Liverpool manager and signed a three year contract on 1 June. In total, Liverpool paid Swansea £7,000,000 compensation for Rodgers, coach Colin Pascoe, assistant performance analyst Chris Davies and performance consultant Glen Driscoll.^[2] On 15 June, Swansea appointed former Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus midfielder Michael Laudrup as their new manager. Laudrup signed a two year contract.^[3]

Pre-season friendlies

Swansea began their 2012–13 campaign with a 10 day pre-season tour of America. The club played against MLS sides Colorado Rapids and San Jose Earthquakes, and also against USL Premier Development League side Ventura County Fusion.^[4]^[5] The Club also played at other venues within the UK, including a trip to Aberystwyth after signing Alex Samuel from Aberystwyth Town.^[6] This Swansea team contained some first team players, but also some reserves and youngsters, although it was part of the first team calendar. They also played Carmarthen Town. Swansea's first opponents at the Liberty Stadium were Blackpool.^[7]
