Swansea City Association Football Club
Current Leadership
Majority Shareholders
American investors Jason Levien and Steve Kaplan acquired a majority stake in Swansea City in 2016. Levien, also an owner of D.C. United in MLS, and Kaplan, a private equity executive, have overseen the club through relegation from the Premier League and the subsequent Championship rebuilding process. Their ownership has been marked by a focus on financial sustainability and youth development, though the relationship with supporters has at times been strained.
Minority Shareholders
The Swansea City Supporters' Trust saved the club from extinction in 2002 and retains a minority shareholding. The Trust has a seat on the board and played a crucial role in the club's remarkable rise from the bottom division to the Premier League. While no longer the majority owner, the Trust remains an influential voice in the club's governance.

Historical Figures
Former Chairman
Huw Jenkins was the driving force behind Swansea's extraordinary rise from near-extinction to the Premier League. As chairman from 2002, he oversaw the move to the Liberty Stadium, the appointment of the managers who defined the 'Swansea Way,' and the League Cup triumph. Jenkins stood down in 2019 after a disagreement with the American owners.
