How to watch Swansea City vs Manchester City in the USA: Live Stream and TV for 2025/2026 Carabao Cup

How to watch Swansea City vs Manchester City in the USA: Live Stream and TV for 2025/2026 Carabao Cup - World Soccer Talk

<p><strong><a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/luka-modric/">Luka Modric</a></strong>‘s present is Real Madrid and the match against Arsenal. The Croatian wants to continue playing and his absolute priority is to do so at <strong><a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/real-madrid/">Real Madrid</a></strong>. That does not prevent Luka from looking to the future and launching plans. <strong>One is already a reality, because he has become one of the owners of <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/tag/swansea/">Swansea</a>.</strong> This is an agreement closed weeks ago and that the club has decided to make official now.</p>



<p>This is a future investment project, <strong>aimed at getting the Welsh team back to the Premier League and consolidating itself in the elite.</strong> So far, Swansea has been twice in the highest category of English soccer, in which it participates despite being a Welsh entity. And on both occasions there is a connection with Spain.</p>



<p>In the first, from 1981 to 1983, his coach was John Benjamin Toshack, who later made the leap to Sporting de Portugal, a step prior to his arrival at Real Sociedad. Swansea returned to the elite in 2011, to live a long stage among the best until 2018, in which a Spanish striker was a reference: Michu.</p>



<h2>Modric’s connection to British soccer</h2>



<p>Luka Modric has a deep relationship with British soccer. <strong>His time at Tottenham was what confirmed that Europe was facing an extraordinary player</strong>, the same one who in 2012 arrived at Madrid to become an absolute legend at the White House.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1200" height="675" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.worldsoccertalk.com/webp/full/WST_20250414_WST_565268_Swansea.com-Stadium-1200x675_a33717c3.webp&amp;width=1200&amp;height=675" alt="" class="wp-image-565276" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2025/04/14100802/Swansea.com-Stadium-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2025/04/14100802/Swansea.com-Stadium-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2025/04/14100802/Swansea.com-Stadium-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2025/04/14100802/Swansea.com-Stadium-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2025/04/14100802/Swansea.com-Stadium-740x416.jpg 740w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2025/04/14100802/Swansea.com-Stadium-490x275.jpg 490w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2025/04/14100802/Swansea.com-Stadium-250x140.jpg 250w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2025/04/14100802/Swansea.com-Stadium.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px"></figure></figure>



<p>With this step, <strong>Modric advances in a field that has long interested him</strong>, with the aim of remaining linked to the world of soccer when he retires. That is something that, logically, is getting closer and closer. But the ’10’ of Madrid does not see it as something immediate. His head is still on the lawn and in increasing his impressive legacy in Madrid. And also in the Croatian national team, with which he will soon undertake the fight to be in the 2026 World Cup.</p>



<p>Afterwards it will be time for his project in Swansea to be the priority. The club now of the Liberty Stadium was founded on August 1, 1912 and currently plays in the Championship.</p>

<h4>Swansea City History</h4>



<p>The club was founded as Swansea Town in 1912 and debuted in the Southern League. They won the Welsh Cup in their very first season.</p>



<p>Swansea joined the Football League, as members of the Third Division, in 1920, winning the league in 1925. They wouldn’t capture another division title again until 1949, once again as champions of the third tier.</p>



<p>In 1969, the club changed its name to Swansea City, reflecting Swansea’s new status as a city.</p>



<p>Swansea is notable for being one of the five major Welsh clubs that play within the English league system. The others are rivals Cardiff City, along with Newport County, Wrexham AFC, and Merthyr Town.</p>



<p>The Swans have won the Welsh Cup ten times, however since 2012, they and other clubs playing in English leagues are no longer admitted to the competition. </p>



<p>Swansea first played in the First Division in 1981/82, placing 6th in their debut year – still their highest league finish ever. They were relegated the following season and did not return to the top flight until 2011. This stay was longer, lasting seven seasons, until 2018. This era included a League Cup win in 2013, the club’s highest honor to date. The win earned them a place in the Europa League, making them the first Welsh team to earn a European place reserved for English teams.</p>



<p>The club’s home ground is what is currently known as Swansea.com Stadium. Opened in 2005, it is the third-largest stadium in Wales. It is also home to the Ospreys professional rugby club.</p>

<h4>Swansea City History</h4>



<p>The club was founded as Swansea Town in 1912 and debuted in the Southern League. They won the Welsh Cup in their very first season.</p>



<p>Swansea joined the Football League, as members of the Third Division, in 1920, winning the league in 1925. They wouldn’t capture another division title again until 1949, once again as champions of the third tier.</p>



<p>In 1969, the club changed its name to Swansea City, reflecting Swansea’s new status as a city.</p>



<p>Swansea is notable for being one of the five major Welsh clubs that play within the English league system. The others are rivals Cardiff City, along with Newport County, Wrexham AFC, and Merthyr Town.</p>



<p>The Swans have won the Welsh Cup ten times, however since 2012, they and other clubs playing in English leagues are no longer admitted to the competition. </p>



<p>Swansea first played in the First Division in 1981/82, placing 6th in their debut year – still their highest league finish ever. They were relegated the following season and did not return to the top flight until 2011. This stay was longer, lasting seven seasons, until 2018. This era included a League Cup win in 2013, the club’s highest honor to date. The win earned them a place in the Europa League, making them the first Welsh team to earn a European place reserved for English teams.</p>



<p>The club’s home ground is what is currently known as Swansea.com Stadium. Opened in 2005, it is the third-largest stadium in Wales. It is also home to the Ospreys professional rugby club.</p>

<p>Kristian Fletcher was loaned out by DC United to Swansea City in September to stay until December.</p>



<p>It was expected that one of DC United’s finest homegrown players would be given a chance in Europe. In addition, the fact that the teams are owned by the same people makes it even more logical that they coordinate the loan.</p>



<p>Having celebrated his 18th birthday in August, Fletcher only played 123 minutes in 10 games for the 2023 season. In the latter weeks of the season, as DC United battled for a playoff spot, former head coach Wayne Rooney started several veterans up front.</p>



<p>Fletcher was informed of the loan announcement one week before to his departure, on September 20. The player was able to lawfully relocate since his father was born in Scotland, which allowed him to get a passport from the United Kingdom.</p>



<h2>How has Kristian Fletcher fared for Swansea U-21?</h2>



<p>Fletcher has been phenomenal for <a href="https://worldsoccertalk.com/swansea-city-primer/">Swansea City</a>‘s U-21 squad since the loan was intended to get him there. He has started the season well for the Swans’ youth squad, scoring three braces already.</p>



<p>The 18-year-old winger has left his mark twice in three victories for his team: 4-0 against Hull City, 3-1 against Brighton, and 6-0 against Briton Ferry in the League Cup of Wales. He has maintained his impressive form since coming in September, scoring 13 goals, including a hat-trick in his <a href="https://twitter.com/DMVSoccer96/status/1729559304229863481" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">most recent match against Ipswich Town.</a></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1200" height="675" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.worldsoccertalk.com/webp/full/WST_20231129_WST_473668_Fletcher-bench-Swansea-1200x675.webp&amp;width=1200&amp;height=675" alt="" class="wp-image-473801" srcset="https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/11/Fletcher-bench-Swansea-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/11/Fletcher-bench-Swansea-300x169.jpg 300w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/11/Fletcher-bench-Swansea-768x432.jpg 768w, https://worldsoccertalk.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/2023/11/Fletcher-bench-Swansea.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px"></figure><figcaption>Fletcher has yet to feature on the Swansea first-team squad, but he does have appearances in the youth ranks.</figcaption></figure>



<p>Even though he can play in each of the three forward positions, he has started his loan out on the field as a striker. Even as a solo No. 9, and on occasion as a No. 9 in tandem with another player.</p>



<h2>Will Fletcher get his chance in first team?</h2>



<p>Since Fletcher has shown again and again that he can lead the U-21 squad in goals, the two biggest concerns for him now are whether or not the Welsh side will promote him to the first team on his loan.</p>



<p>Given his current goal-scoring rate, it will be surprising if he doesn’t begin training soon. Perhaps even soon enough to be named to Michel Duff’s first team matchday rosters.</p>



<p>Furthermore, it remains to be seen whether Swansea City will choose to buy him out or prolong his loan. Since the American rising star can’t do anything about it right now, the issue remains as to whether he will be a part of the club next year.</p>



<p>Before signing with DC United, rumors circulated that Fletcher may be joining Borussia Dortmund, a move that would have fulfilled his long-term goal of playing at the top level in Europe. Swansea’s first team isn’t exactly tearing it up right now—they are in 18th place in the Championship after 17 games. But it may be considered a solid stepping stone for a young player without much Major League Soccer experience.</p>



<p>Fletcher has also been called up to the U.S. U-20 squad on many occasions while playing at a high level, but he was unable to make it to the U-20 World Cup qualifying or final rosters. During his stint with the U.S. U-19 squad in 2023, he began a March trip against Argentina and scored a goal against Racing.</p>



<p>The left winger may represent the US in the 2025 U-20 World Cup and the 2024 and 2028 Olympics on the U-23 squad because he was born in 2005. Still, he is said to be eager to start playing for the U-20 squad, where he is a leading contender for a key role, as per <a href="http://americansoccernow.com/articles/after-a-soaring-start-to-his-swansea-loan-fletcher-eyes-ambitious-goals-for-club-and-country" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">American Soccer Now</a>.</p>
