Welsh Teams in the Premiership

[psd99]

I have always wondered why teams like Swansea and Cardiff can play in the English Premier League, anyone know why?

Russia, Kazakhstan even Turkey
how can one consider all of them countries to be in Europe?

Because they earned it? for whatever reason they play in our league system and have earned the right to be where they are, it would be criminal to throw them out now or block them from being promoted to the Premier League.

I agree but what made them play in the English team, when there are plenty of teams in and around them that play in the Welsh league.

I guess google and some Swansea/Cardiff fans would help us answer this question
