Swansea City's development squad will take on some of Europe's top youth sides in this season's newly expanded Premier League International Cup.
The competition has grown for the 2016-17 season to accommodate 24 clubs - 12 domestic and 12 foreign - as part of wider changes to football's development set-up.
The new cup format will see 12 domestic academy sides face off against 12 of the best European academy sides with six groups of four teams.
The Swans' under-23s have been drawn in Group D alongside Chelsea, Dinamo Zagreb (Croatia) and Feyenoord (Holland).
