Crystal Palace Ladies FC is today announcing a change of the Club name and will play in next season’s FA Women’s Championship as Crystal Palace FC.
Founded in 1992, the Club has a significant history in the women’s game and the new identity reflects its place within the Crystal Palace family. Players from the men’s and women’s teams attend community events together and Crystal Palace FC provides extensive financial, marketing and other support.
The name change was extensively debated in recognition of the growing trend within the women’s game to move away from the term Ladies.
