The Swans' centenary celebrations have officially kicked off.

To mark 100 years of Swansea City, they have a number of events lined up throughout the season.

And to get the festivities underway, they launched their new club crest solely intended for the 2012-13 campaign.

Real Madrid and the Government of Ras al-Khaimah presented the Real Madrid Resort Island in the Presidential Balcony of the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. It is to be a touristic complex and theme park in the United Arab Emirates under the Real Madrid brand.

The event was attended by President Florentino Perez and Dr. Khater Massaad, representative of the Government of Ras al-Khaimah and CEO of RAK Investment Authority. Jose Mourinho, Iker Casillas, Sergio Ramos, Karim Benzema, Football Director Miguel Pardeza, First Team Director Zinedine Zidane, Director of Institutional Relations Emilio Butragueño and former players Santamaria, Pachin and Amancio Amaro were also in attendance.

To mark the 150th Anniversary of Wanderers first ever match, a competition has been launched to find a new badge for the club.

On March 15th 1862, 15 men took a field near Leytonstone under the name Forest FC to play Crystal Palace FC.

Over 400 games and nearly 800 players later and Forest FC had transformed in Wanderers FC - the pre-eminent team of the Victorian era, when football became organised and regulated. The reforming and philanthropic gentlemen of the age dragged violent inter-village rabbles into a popular pastime for the upper and middle classes in the south and the working men of the north.

As the new home of English football, in the heart of the country, St George’s Park will act as a base for England teams at every level, from the senior men’s side to the youngest squads of aspiring footballers. The video below gives a fascinating glimpse of just what we can expect when St George’s Park opens later this summer.

The Lead Partner to St.George’s Park is English football tailoring brand, Umbro.  Without the company’s support and vital sponsorship funds, the project in its present form would simply not be possible.
