Last Tuesday, two members of the England squad for the Homeless World Cup visited Crystal Palace’s Training Ground to meet several Palace players and manager Roy Hodgson.
The players - Scott and Raph - were also presented with training wear and boots by the club in preparation for the annual Homeless World Cup tournament which begins tomorrow (13 November) in Mexico City. Two-hundred thousand spectators are expected to watch the event live with millions more viewing online as over 500 players head to Mexico to compete.
Scott and Raph were invited to watch Palace train, as part of the club’s relationship with national homeless charity Crisis which began last year as James Tomkins, loanee Ruben Loftus-Cheek and several Academy players visited a donation distribution centre in south London last Christmas.
