Welcome to Swansea University Footballing Veterans (35+): 2023/24.

(Last edited – 29/04/2024. The remainder of the website is largely redundant but serves as an archive of the previous 9 years.)

Summer 2024-Swansea University Veterans football continues in the Wednesday night session 7.30-8.30 pm at the new Swansea Bay Sports Park 3G.

Occasionally this may revert back to the blue hockey astro-7.00-8.00 pm (notification through WhatsApp group)

There are also 4 team round robin sessions the last Sunday in the month.

  • 26th May 2.00-3.30 pm – Swansea Triathlon in the morning, BH 27th
  • 30th June 10.30-12.00
  • 28th July 10.30-12.00
  • 25th Aug 10.30-12.00- BH 26th

Currently 8 – 9 pm. Dimpled soles are best or mouldies on the 3G.

Pass and move, everyone involved is actively encouraged. Rain or shine, we play throughout the year. Changing rooms / showers available. Parking as usual at ‘Ashleigh Road’

Open to everyone (35+), just turn up, pay (£5), play and enjoy. No membership or notification needed. We are open to players associated with Swansea University and the wider community. We recently included our first women veteran footballers in sessions and games and see this trend continuing as the women’s game strengthens even more.

We have a full pitch and can play 1/2 pitch, 3/4 pitch, full pitch or even 2 x 1/2 pitch games depending on numbers.

More information through. n.evans@swansea.ac.uk

There is a (information only / no banter) WhatsApp Group to inform players of any updates. Or a (closed) facebook group-

Those interested in playing competitive league football can play with us in addition to or as an introduction to playing with our friends at Swansea Veterans, Rockspur Fords Swansea Veterans, Briton Ferry Veterans or Llanelli Veterans who have various age-group teams in the Wales Veterans League.

Swansea University Veterans is registered with WWFA and so eligible to play occasional friendlies, tournaments and touring sides.
