The Swans have been drawn in a group alongside Arsenal, Everton, Huddersfield Town and West Bromwich Albion for both tournaments, with the group winners progressing to the semi-finals.

Neyland's side comprises of Theo Davies, Benjamin Gale, Joseph Gale, Charlie Hewett, Lennon Howlett, Kieron Palmer, Ashley Watkins and Harry Young.

Meanwhile, Catrin Hughes, Amelia John, Danielle Jones, Jazmyn Jones, Efa Lynch, Lily-Mai Morgan, Ffion Tovey and Gracie Williams make up the team from Dewi Sant.

The Swans have enjoyed previous success at the event, as Ysgol Gynradd Gymraeg Castell Nedd won the Under-11s’ competition at Goodison Park back in 2016.
