Junior Jacks takeover 2026-27

 

Calling all Junior Jacks season ticket holders! It’s time to take over a Swansea City matchday!

Following the success of last season's Junior Jacks Takeover Day, we are once again offering season ticket holders between the ages of seven and 12 the chance to go behind the scenes and take on some key matchday roles.

Our dedicated takeover match will be against Middlesbrough on Monday April 6 (5.30pm kick-off).

As well as all the same roles as last season, we have introduced some brand new ones for 2025-26. Take a look at last season's matchday by clicking here.

Each Junior Jack role is different, and we require lots of different personalities and interests needed to help us deliver an excellent matchday.

The roles also have an allocated timeslot(s), so please only apply for roles if you are available at the times mentioned in the description. 

Please note, all Junior Jacks must be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times during the matchday.
