 Swans in waiting game for Jeremy Monga to make his debut 6th Sep 2026 13:13Swansea City remain in a waiting game over Jeremy Monga, with the 17-year-old unable to make his debut until the necessary FIFA clearance is received. The highly-rated winger joined the Swans on loan from Manchester City for the remainder of the season, and importantly, there is no suggestion that Swansea failed to complete the transfer in time.  1

Didn’t we break away from the FAW and moved to the FA’s jurisdiction some years back or isn’t that the same thing? |  |

Welsh & English clubs fall under their own FA. |  |

I hope this goes through and not fall by the wayside, I know he's young at 17 yrs old, but he looks like a game changer. |  | | |

Yes, but we definitely opted to come under FA jurisdiction in the PL I think. Cardiff may have done also. Maybe back in the Championship we reverted, or had to. I don’t know. | |

No idea but the FAW hold and release player registrations for all Welsh clubs 👍 | |

We probably have to prove that we have the necessary safeguarding procedures in place. These are not automatically in place for Cat2 clubs but are for Cat1. My original response was tounge in cheek. | | | |

I think you are referring to this:
Welsh clubs will break with more than a century of football tradition from next season and submit to cross-border regulation by the Football Association. Cardiff City and Swansea City have historically been dealt with by the FA of Wales, which has different regulations and disciplinary processes to its English counterpart. This is despite both clubs playing in English competitions.

Yes indeed. I presume this isn’t still the case though? Or is player registration still the remit if FAW in this case? | |

Can Monga practice with the team before getting cleared? | | | |

Yes.
In matters like player registration the FAW are the association which deals with FIFA. | |

Why does this process take so long? Just typical bureaucracy? Are Swans considered the what we call in the US "the red-headed stepchild" by the FAW? What I mean by this, if Monga was signed by Cardiff (or even Wrexham), would the matter have been resolved by now, in quicker fashion? | | | |

Keith will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe we have to have the correct procedures in place including safeguarding for a 17 year old. These would be documented if we were Cat1. I think getting Monga here and having the procedures in place will be evidence and help us with our Cat1 application which is ongoing this season. | | | |

That exactly right.
Although they have multiple u18 players they are being assessed as we know for Cat 1 and Monga will be a good benchmark educationally and for his personal development. Cant mess it up though. | |

I think the feeling is or certainly was in the past that if the FAW can do anything to disrupt the Swans they’d do it in a heartbeat. This case may be different though and reliant on us getting our ship in order, I don’t know. | |

Thanks, UJ! That's what I suspected was the case, where an organization such as the FAW, will favor one group over another. Kind of like getting a building construction permit in certain North Carolina counties, where one contractor or a group of contractors are favored over other contractors, and therefore get their project off the ground faster than the unfavored contractors. | | | |
