The city of Swansea will have the chance to welcome home their League Cup final heroes with a bus parade through the city centre today.

The Welsh club secured their first piece of major silverware in their centenary season with an emphatic 5-0 victory over League Two side Bradford at Wembley on Sunday.

Man of the match Nathan Dyer (two), Jonathan de Guzman (two) and Michu got the goals to ensure Michael Laudrup’s side will have European football to look forward to next season.

Lord Mayor of Swansea, Councillor Dennis James, said: “This is a fantastic moment for the Swans and for Swansea as a whole.

“After their promotion to the Premier League, Sunday’s events open a new chapter in a remarkable success story for our city’s football team.

“I’m sure thousands of fans will want to line the route and be part of an event that will be remembered for years to come.”

The parade will start at 5.30pm (Malta time) outside the Dragon Hotel, before weaving its way through the city to a civic reception at the Guildhall.
