This will mark Kenny Jackett's first return to his old club in a tough fixture against a freshly promoted QPR side. This fixture could also potentially be the first return of Dennis Oli to his boyhood club, although this depends on the young trialist earning a professional contract at Swansea.
QPR and Swansea last met in 2001/02, when the Welsh side demolished the Londoners 4-0 at the Vetch in a live Sky FA Cup fixture. Last season's Carling Cup first round saw Swansea drawn away at Bristol City, where they were beaten 4-1 in a scoreline that somewhat flattered the hosts.
The club have also confirmed that the fixture will take place on Tuesday 24th August with a 7:45 kick off. Ticket prices will be announced shortly.
