Youth football project in Nigeria gets backing from the Swans
Everyone loves a bit of a feelgood story, right? This has a bit of a "the last story on the news" feel to it, but there is a clear message - the Swans are expanding on a global basis. I've been unable to get many details at the time of writing (I'll endeavour to provide more information as I get it), but it appears that Naowa College in Abuja, Nigeria have teamed up with the Swans who will provide assistance with their youth football project.
This came to light thanks to Swansea vice-chairman Leigh Dineen, who retweeted the following tweet. Outstanding!

It's great to see the Swans expanding in this manner, and what's more Leigh indicated that we're also forging links in Calcutta (India), Khartoum (Sudan) and Sanaa (North Yemen). Exciting times! Good news perhaps, too, for the Swansea ex-pat army who seem to be growing in numbers in all corners of the globe. Do you follow the Swans from abroad?
