Meet the team: Palace Women’s 2023/24 squad photo – News – Crystal Palace F.C.
Crystal Palace Women’s official 2023/24 squad photo has been released!
The Eagles have made an excellent start to the new season, winning five of their opening eight Women’s Championship matches to go fourth – and scoring 28 times in the process!
They now face a trio of consecutive home fixtures against Lewes (on Sunday, 12th November, 14:00 GMT) in Sutton; Southampton Women at Selhurst Park (Sunday, 19th November, 14:00) in front of an expected record crowd; and Watford Women in the League Cup (Wednesday, 22nd November, 19:15) in Sutton – with tickets available for all three matches now!
Palace will be looking to continue the impressive momentum built up since a new era was ushered into the club in the summer, with a move to a new ground, Sutton’s VBS Community Stadium this season; the appointment of Grace Williams as the club’s new Head of Women’s Football to lead the restructuring; and Laura Kaminski joining as the new head coach.
Plenty of new faces have arrived at the club, with your full guide to the ‘team behind the team’ available below:
Chico Lyons (Physical Performance Coach); Andrew Shafik (Team Doctor); Isiah Goddard-Joseph (Sports Therapist); Andrew Greene (Sports Scientist); Nick Wiltshire (Kit Manager); Leigh Nicol (Player Liaison Officer)

Of course, at the heart of every successful squad is a strong team bond.
And, on top of their results, if the annual tradition of a ‘silly’ team photo is anything to go by, that seems strong at Palace this season indeed…!
Palace now face a run of three back-to-back home matches – against Lewes in the Championship this coming Sunday (12th September); versus Southampton at Selhurst Park the following weekend; and then in the League Cup at home to Watford the following midweek.
