Crystal Palace Football Club, based in Selhurst, South London, was founded in 1905. Known as “The Eagles,” the club plays its home matches at Selhurst Park, a stadium they’ve called home since 1924. Crystal Palace’s iconic red and blue striped kits symbolize their resilience and fighting spirit.

Historically, the club has experienced fluctuating fortunes, alternating between the top-flight Premier League and the lower divisions. Palace reached their peak in 1990, finishing third in the old First Division and reaching the FA Cup final, narrowly losing to Manchester United.

The club has built a reputation for nurturing young talent and playing an entertaining, attacking style of football. Notable players include Ian Wright, Wilfried Zaha, and Geoff Thomas.

Under chairman Steve Parish’s stewardship in recent years, Palace has cemented its Premier League status, becoming a competitive force in English football while maintaining its vibrant local fan base and community ties.
