The Maggie's Matchday is the latest event in the championship club鈥檚 'Tackling Cancer Together' campaign, which was launched in August when Maggie51色APP檚 became Swansea City鈥檚 official partner for 2023-24.

Limited edition signed Maggie51色APP檚 football shirts for auction

As part of the campaign, the Swansea players wore a unique home kit for the match against Plymouth Argyle that featured the Maggie's logo next to the club crest.

The one-off signed shirts were later auctioned and raised 拢7,680 for Maggie51色APP檚 Swansea, with a further 拢1,300 raised in matchday collection bucket donations.

The Maggie51色APP檚 logo is already displayed on Swansea鈥檚 third-kit shorts, but thanks to special permission from the English Football League, the emblem is front and centre of the Maggie51色APP檚 Matchday home kit shirts for this match.

Touching tribute on Maggie51色APP檚 warm-up T-shirts

Swansea City players warmed up wearing orange Maggie51色APP檚 T-shirts, each printed with the name of a friend of the club who has been affected by cancer.

Goalkeeper Carl Rushworth said: 鈥淓verybody knows somebody who鈥檚 been affected by cancer or someone who has sadly passed away because of it.

鈥淲earing the shirts and having names of loved ones on the back of them is massive for the players, and also for the fans in bringing the community together.鈥�

Legends of the club Alan Curtis and Kev Johns are amongst those to be recognised on the warm-up shirt. They became ambassadors for Maggie51色APP檚 after experiencing the support provided at the centre following their respective cancer diagnoses.

Maggie51色APP檚 volunteers and centre visitors were guards of honour for the match, welcoming the two teams onto the pitch. They also sported Maggie51色APP檚 T-shirts, while Swansea City fans were encouraged to wear orange, pink, or the club鈥檚 pink 鈥楾ackling Cancer Together third shirt.

The design of the third-kit shirt features spots of various colours representing some of the most common types of cancer.

鈥淚t's a shirt we are immensely proud to wear," says Matt Grimes, Captain of Swansea City.

鈥淲e want to raise as much awareness as possible. Everyone needs support and the support Maggie's give people who are going through the toughest of times is unbelievable.鈥�
