The clash against our South London neighbours will take place on Friday, 31st July at 13:00 BST behind closed doors at the Crystal Palace Academy.

Millwall operate a Category Two Academy and compete in the Professional Development League (PDL), one tier below Premier League 2.

The Young Lions finished 13th in the PDL last season, ending the campaign four points short of the cross-category play-off places. The competition sees the top eight PDL sides enter a knockout phase alongside the eight Category One Academy clubs that finish between 17th and 24th in Premier League 2.

After an impressive two-year spell in charge of Scottish Women's Premier League side Rangers, Potter swapped Glasgow for London on the 24th June, 2025.

She had won a cup double in both of her seasons in charge in Scotland, delivering four trophies in total.

Expectations were high for the former Lioness, and she guided the Eagles to Women's Super League promotion at the first time of asking. 

After a mixed start that saw the team only won one in their first five league games, Potter oversaw a complete turnaround in fortunes that saw the Eagles finish in second-place and clinch a promotion spot.

Her efforts were recognised in December, as Potter won the WSL2 Manager of the Month award after Palace won both league fixtures against Birmingham City and Bristol City.

Palace won an incredible 11 of their last 13 league games, pipping South London rivals Charlton Athletic to a promotion spot on the final day and returning to the top-flight at the first time of asking.

On This Day: Jo Potter announced as Palace Manager

**Speaking to the matchday programme earlier this season, Benítez – who endeared himself on his debut as a penalty shootout hero in a win over Millwall – discussed targeting glory on the European stage with the Eagles...**

*This interview was initially published in the Crystal Palace v Newcastle matchday programme in April 2026 - you can [buy previous issues of the matchday programme by clicking HERE](https://shop.cpfc.co.uk/giftssouvenirs/souvenirs/programmes/).*

When Walter Benítez signed for Crystal Palace last summer he brought serious European experience with him. Excluding qualifiers, Benítez had played 36 games and over 3,270 minutes across UEFA Champions League and the Europa League at that point in his career. 

Even without knowing what lay ahead in a mammoth 2025/26 season, you felt that his experience would prove crucial at some point. That moment arrived in Cyprus back in March. 

Benítez was between the sticks as the Eagles faced AEK Larnaca in the second leg of the UEFA Conference League Round of 16. After a tense goalless first match at Selhurst Park, both sides knew one mistake could be the difference between advancing, or seeing a maiden European campaign come to an end.

For goalkeepers, above any other player on the pitch, this is where nerves of steel are required. Thankfully Walter walked out to the AEK Arena looking like he was made for the moment.

We had a lot of support, and this is fantastic for us.

“I felt ready,” he told the matchday programme. “It was a very important game for the club. 

“We all knew we had to be in the next round and it’s always difficult when you play European games away from home. 

“But I think we proved that night that we are a good team. Even though it was difficult at times, we continued to push on. We are one team so every player and every staff member helps us. 

“In this game we had a lot of support [from the stands], and this is fantastic for us.”

The scariest moment for those in the open-air away end, and those watching from back home over 2,000 miles away, came during extra-time. 

The Eagles had been the better side for most of the evening, but the Cypriots erupted when Spanish defender Enric Saborit headed in from a corner, forcing an extra 30 minutes. It was classic Palace, never doing things the easy way. 

Eventually Ismaïla Sarr got his second of the evening to restore the lead, with the second-half seeing Larnaca throw everything forward in desperate hope of forcing a penalty shootout.

After a ball in the box went through to Benítez, the referee blew his whistle and marched over to the Palace keeper, grabbing the ball. For a few seconds, he looked certain to award a penalty. In the end a VAR review ruled that there was no handball on the way via Jean-Philippe Mateta. 

South London blew a huge sigh of relief, but Benítez was suddenly in the middle of complete chaos, with home fans reacting to the decision by throwing cups onto the pitch towards his goal. With the stadium reaching boiling point a cool head was needed. Thankfully the man between the sticks wasn’t flustered in the slightest. 

“I remember just being very surprised when I saw him [the referee] take the ball,” reflects Benítez. “When I saw the situation, I said that it was never a penalty, but it seemed like he had taken a quick decision. 

“We were all very surprised but I just had to prepare myself. There were only a few minutes left so it was a big moment. 

“I was ready, but then the VAR decided it was not a penalty. Thankfully we managed to push on and win the game.”

n the end, despite the odd nervy moment, Benítez was never in real danger of being beaten. Palace held on and sealed a place in the last eight of the Conference League after the toughest assignment so far at that point. 

Those present will testify it was a hostile atmosphere. But when it comes to playing in front of those crowds, Benítez has plenty of experience up his sleeve. Born in the city of General San Martín in January 1993, Benítez’s break in professional football came with Quilmes Atlético Club in Buenos Aires – the oldest club in the Argentinian club system.

First signed as a youth player in 2011, he would turn professional and make his senior debut in the 2013/14 season. As a youngster, playing in Argentina’s top division – particularly as a goalkeeper – could prove intimidating for some. But it also builds character. 

“They [the Larnaca] fans were angry, but I’ve had that before,” he laughs. “It’s often like that in Argentina. 

“Sometimes when you play in their stadium, this is part of the game. You have to expect it in a close match. 

“They want to push you as players and get a reaction. So it’s important you stay focused, particularly as a goalkeeper. But as you get older you get used to this situation.”

The Conference League has played a big part in Benítez's Palace story so far, with the Argentinian playing three times en route to the Eagles lifting the trophy last season in Leipzig. 

It also ticked off an impressive achievement. Benítez joining a club of players to play in the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League.

Speaking ahead of Palace's victory in Leipzig, Benítez noted: “Each one of those competitions is special. Every game you play in, it feels different.

“This competition has helped me play a little bit more and I’m really happy because my goal is to play as much as possible. 

“It’s the first year of competition for Crystal Palace in Europe. Every game for us is like a final, because we want to finish in this competition as high as possible. 

“It's a big focus for us. I hope we can continue in the competition, reach the final, and ultimately lift the trophy – because that would be a big step for us as a club.

“My hope is that we win that trophy. I think this team, these players, would deserve that. If we can finish the season as high as possible in the league as well, I think that will be a good year.” 

In a career that has already seen him win silverware, and play for Argentina, a European trophy with the Eagles ranks right up there as one of his biggest achievements.

It becomes like home and you can only enjoy it

Like many footballers who come through the system in South America, Benítez was faced with a big decision at the age of 23. Stay in Argentina, or move to European club football? He chose the latter, joining OGC Nice in France. 

Although it proved to be a wise move for his career, Benítez admits it weighed heavily on his heart. “It’s always difficult for a player to leave their home country,” he reflects. “Not because of the football, but because you are leaving your friends and family. 

“Even if you’re not alone, the first time you go to another country it’s always difficult to adapt. You need to learn the culture and everything, so it took time when I first moved to Europe.

“It’s always hard, but we love football which makes it worthwhile. The most important thing I have learnt is to enjoy your environment. 

“You learn as well how important the people around the club are. Like here, everyone is really nice. It becomes like home and you can only enjoy it. 

“Eventually after getting used to it, I didn’t miss home as much. I think it’s similar for a lot of players. 

“But when I first arrived here [at Palace] I was able to get settled with the other players quickly. Also Julian Speroni, for example, was someone who really helped me. 

“Of course, I knew a bit about the club before joining, but it always takes time to feel fully settled.”

But he is pleased with the decision he made. 

“I knew it was a big step,” he added. “To join a big club like this. But I kept thinking it was also an opportunity to play in the best league in the world. 

“Now of course, I know more about the club, I know more about the fans and the people who work here. 

“I’m really proud and happy to have come here and play for Crystal Palace.”

It was on this day (23rd June) a year ago that Crystal Palace announced the signing of experienced goalkeeper Walter Benítez – with the Argentina international later linking up with the squad from 1st July.

One year at Palace: Walter Benítez on sealing silverware in South London

**Tonight's matches see France take on Iraq in Philadelphia (22:00 BST kick-off UK time), before Norway play Senegal in New Jersey overnight (01:00 BST).**

**But should any meet on the pitch, it wouldn't be the first time Palace players have featured on either side of an international clash…**

In recent years, there's been an uptick in Palace stars donning red and blue as well as their country’s colours, but back in the early 2000s it was a rare occasion for our Eagles to represent their nations – let alone for multiple to face each other.

One such occasion some 23 years ago in October saw none other than Palace legend **Dougie Freedman** come up against his fellow teammates **Aleksandrs Kolinko and Andrejs Rubins** as Scotland faced Latvia at Hampden Park.

Rubins, who spent three years in SE25 and scored an iconic goal against Liverpool in the League Cup semi-final, opened the scoring with a well-taken finish on a cut back 20 minutes in for Latvia in this crucial World Cup qualifier.

Remarkably, Freedman headed in on the stroke of half-time, past ‘keeper Kolinko, to level for Scotland before they eventually emerged 2-1 winners. As rare as it is to have two or more Palace representatives on both sides, to have both of them score is even more of a spectacle.

The duo of Rubins and Kolinko also faced another teammate in **Aki Riihilahti** when Finland hosted Latvia in May 2002 for a friendly. Amazingly, once again one of the three Palace players got on the scoresheet as Riihilahti levelled for Finland 70 minutes in.

Another Palace player in **Shefki Kuqi** went on to score the winner for Finland in the 83rd minute, though he wasn’t to arrive in SE25 until 2006.

A clash more closer to home which saw two Palace players involved back in February 2005 involved midfielder **Carl Fletcher** lining up for Wales against iconic goalkeeper **Gábor Király**.

The tracksuit bottom-wearing goalkeeper couldn’t keep out Fletcher’s Wales however, as they won 2-0 at the Millennium Stadium. Incidentally, former Palace man **Rob Edwards** and **Danny Gabbidon** - who would arrive at Selhurst Park many years later - were also involved for the Red Dragons that evening.

Sticking with Wales, former Palace shot-stopper **Wayne Hennessey** also faced his captain-at-the-time **Luka Milivojević** in a World Cup qualifier back in June 2017.

There was also fellow midfielder **Joe Ledley** for Milivojević to contend with in midfield, though the spoils were shared as the sides drew 1-1.

In a friendly prior to Euro 2016, England – then managed by Roy Hodgson – faced Australia where then Palace skipper **Mile Jedinak** captained the Socceroos against an England team which featured one of our own in **Nathaniel Clyne.** England went on to win 2-1, with both Clyne and Jedinak playing the entire game.

Palace heroes **Wilfried Zaha** and **Yannick Bolasie** both faced each other in a friendly, back in 2019. Zaha sealed the win for Ivory Coast with a third and final goal in a 3-1 victory, while Bolasie assisted the only goal for DR Congo after coming on at half-time.

This is a far from extensive look back at how both current and former Palace teammates have faced one another on the international stage.

But more recent years have seen **Jordan Ayew** come up against none other than **Cheick Doucouré** in 2020. In a friendly that was contested behind closed doors, the midfielder, who would go on to join the Eagles in 2022, registered his first-ever assist for Mali as they won 3-0 against Ayew’s Ghana.

At the 2024 European Championship finals, **Marc Guéhi** and **Ebere Eze** – with **Henderson** and **Adam Wharton** also among the Three Lions squad – came up against **Joachim Andersen** and Denmark in a 1-1 group-stage draw.

Meanwhile, in a pre-Copa América friendly two years ago, **Jefferson Lerma** and **Daniel Muñoz** both started against **Chris Richards** as Colombia triumphed over the United States in Maryland.

And in a post-season friendly last summer, when England hosted Senegal in a friendly at the City Ground, Palace’s **Dean Henderson** and **Eze** both started for Thomas Tuchel’s Three Lions, while **Sarr** started for Senegal – and, despite Henderson keeping out a couple of his efforts, duly scored in a 3-1 win for the African side.

Earlier this season, there were more meetings of Palace players around the world.

Back in the autumn, Richards played the full 90 minutes of United States' 2-0 win over Japan – and teammate **Daichi Kamada**, who came on after an hour – in Columbus.

And in March, Palace’s **Justin Devenny** played for Northern Ireland up against Wales and **Brennan Johnson** – who came on as a second-half substitute – in a 1-1 friendly draw.

Earlier this summer, there was plenty of Palace interest in an exciting pre-World Cup friendly between France and Colombia at Maryland's Northwest Stadium.

Fresh from making his senior debut as a second-half substitute for *Les Bleus* last week, **Maxence Lacroix** duly came in for the start for France – and came up against a Colombia team for whom both **Muñoz** and **Lerma** were in the starting XI.

Throw in Michael Olise's late introduction for France off the bench – the former Palace attacker pictured taking on Lerma below – and it was quite the glamour match-up for Eagles fans to enjoy.

The result ultimately went Lacroix and France's way, with the Palace defender earning rave reviews for his uncompromising defending over the course of 90 minutes in a 3-1 win, despite Lerma picking up an assist for Colombia.

And just two weeks ago, **Devenny** started for Northern Ireland and went up against with **Lacroix** and **Mateta** as France faced Northern Ireland in Lille.

Lacroix came off the bench for the second-half to face his Palace teammate, but it duly became the Olise show – the former Eagle netting a hat-trick, despite Devenny picking up a pre-assist in a 3-1 defeat.

Lacroix, having helped *Les Bleus* defend their lead, embraced Devenny at full-time.

South London and Proud.

In the 2026 FIFA World Cup, tonight is once again the matchround for Group I – in which Eagles could feature for Senegal (Ismaïla Sarr), France (Maxence Lacroix and Jean-Philippe Mateta) and Norway (Jørgen Strand Larsen). 

Teammates, but rivals: When Palace players have met on international duty

The Eagles were one of six Premier League clubs with homemade kart in Red Bull’s annual spectacle of creative performances and dramatic downhill racing – and of all the football clubs involved, recorded the fastest time.

With Darren Ambrose at the wheel of the Eagle-themed design, racing downhill in front of 15,000 attendees at London’s Alexandra Palace, Palace’s kart completed its run in an impressive 40.22 seconds.

Of the other Premier League clubs, Aston Villa were second on 43.59 seconds; Leeds third on 45.65 seconds; Fulham fourth on 56.71 seconds; and Everton and Newcastle United clocking in at over one and two minutes respectively.

Red Bull Soapbox Race challenges Britain’s most fearless, fun-loving and foolhardy teams to prototype and create the wackiest rides and, running since 2000, is widely recognised as the pinnacle of non-motor racing!

Palace – who were the first of 52 racers to take on the course of bumper-filled obstacles – also scored highly for their pre-race performance, with Pete the Eagle and the Crystals entertaining the crowds, immediately before Ambrose set off at rapid speed.

Ambrose later told Palace TV: “What an experience that is! I was a little bit nervous sat at the top. I tried to stand up, giving it aura, but it wasn’t happening!

“The experience was brilliant, the crowd are fantastic. I said I wasn’t braking – I’d give the best I can, and I got there in the end, so I was absolutely buzzing!

“Once I knew I was getting to the end, I think I was just screaming. I was buzzing to get there – so buzzing, I think I forgot to brake at the end!”

Crystal Palace’s glorious run of results continued on a sunny Saturday afternoon… as an entrant into Red Bull's famous Soapbox Race!

Eagles win out among football clubs at Red Bull Soapbox!

We've already seen plenty of involvement from the Eagles with two of our players managing to get on the scoresheet in the first round of games.

Daichi Kamada forced a late equaliser for Japan against the Netherlands in a thrilling 2-2 draw. 

Wing-back Daniel Muñoz then marked his World Cup Finals debut by breaking the deadlock, as his stunning goal helped Colombia to a 3-1 win over Uzbekistan.

Crystal Palace have a record number of players involved at the 2026 FIFA World Cup – here are some of the best photos so far...

Colombia became the latest side to qualify for the Round of 32 after Muñoz got his second goal of the tournament in Guadalajara.

In the 76th minute, Juan Fernando Quintero's clever pass was allowed to run into the Congo box. That saw the ball reach Muñoz who ruthlessly found the net with his left foot, via a deflection.

He joins fellow Palace teammates Daichi Kamada and Ismaïla Sarr on two goals, in an intriguing race to see which Eagle scores the most at the Finals.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">It&#39;s a moment of quality for Colombia ✨<br><br>Daniel Munoz is at it again! <a href="https://t.co/irLTUdSuhL">pic.twitter.com/irLTUdSuhL</a></p>&mdash; ITV Football (@itvfootball) <a href="https://x.com/itvfootball/status/2069626850968535260?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 24, 2026</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

The goal was enough for the three points, leaving Colombia on course to top the group. Regardless of whether they get a positive result in their final game, Muñoz and Jefferson Lerma can now look forward to playing in the knockout stages. 

Despite being the man to break the deadlock in both games so far, Muñoz refused to take the limelight in the aftermath of their latest win. 

"Just because I scored the goal doesn't mean I'm the hero," he told Colombian TV. "I belong to everyone, we're all in this together. 

"We secured the three points as a team, as Colombia. Here, we're one family."

Colombia conclude their Group K campaign against Portugal on Sunday (00:30 BST) in Miami, Florida. 

If they avoid defeat they will book a Round of 32 tie against one of the best third-placed teams in Kansas on Friday, 3rd July.

Daniel Muñoz's late goal was enough to see Colombia into the World Cup knockout stage in the early hours of Thursday morning as the South Americans edged past DR Congo.

**It is even more impressive given how much football Riad had missed through injury in the last two years, before bouncing back from a lengthy recovery process to start – and help Palace keep a clean sheet – in the UEFA Conference League Final win in Leipzig.**

**Speaking earlier this season, Riad talked about overcoming those battles, and why he is loving his time in South London...**

**This interview was initially conducted and published in the Crystal Palace v Everton matchday programme in May 2026 - you can [buy previous issues of the matchday programme by clicking HERE](https://shop.cpfc.co.uk/giftssouvenirs/souvenirs/programmes/).**

When you’re at the business end – or “crunch time” as Oliver Glasner likes to call it – of the season and you’re fighting on multiple fronts, time on the training ground for a professional footballer is short.

Games dominate the schedule. In 2026, recovery is as important for the modern elite footballer, as drills on the training ground. ‘Load’ has to be carefully managed to maximise performance.

So, it’s heartwarming then to see that, when we track down Chadi Riad at the Crystal Palace Training Ground, we find the Moroccan defender juggling a football to himself on an empty pitch. In the name of the matchday programme, your correspondent makes a daring sprint across the pitch as if he were making a last-ditch slide tackle, almost feeling guilty about interrupting Riad’s kickabout. 

After all, you can’t begrudge the 22-year-old making the most of having a ball at his feet again. For the first 18 months of his Palace career, Riad suffered horrendous luck with injuries. 

The sort of luck that would have seriously affected many a fellow professional. 

After making his home debut against West Ham at the start of the 2024/25 season, a knee injury picked up in a Carabao Cup win over Norwich kept him out until December. 

Riad returned to feature in the first game of the historic FA Cup run, a 1-0 win against Stockport.

But just weeks later he suffered a cruciate ligament injury during training. That meant another year on the shelf. It has taken real mental resilience for the defender to overcome those challenges. 

It’s the sort of 18-month period you never anticipate as a young professional just trying to make it in the game. “Of course, mentally it was very, very difficult,” Riad says, reflecting on the hardest part of his career so far. 

“The part I didn’t realise would be so hard is just coming back to the training ground when you can’t play.

“It’s tough because you see your teammates training outside. But all the time you are just by yourself in the gym. 

“But these are the things you must do when you’re injured. You have to do them to give yourself the chance to get back.

“Through it all I had my family and my friends. These are the ones who remembered me. They made sure I had the motivation to get back.

“When you get injured, no-one is thinking about you, this is normal. This is the tough part of the football world. 

“My family and my friends really got me through it. I just want to say thank you to them, because they’re a really important part of me and my story. 

“I had a tough time, but my teammates and staff also supported me very well. That makes a difference.” 

It’s a story that has already seen Riad go from the prestigious Barcelona Academy – ‘La Masia’ – to playing in La Liga on a regular basis with Real Betis on loan, to the international stage.

It’s easily forgotten he is still only in his early 20s. The most recent chapter saw him return to the first-team fold with Palace. 

Against Chelsea at the end of January, Riad made his first senior appearance in over a year, coming off the bench for the final quarter of the game. He managed to play his part in getting Palace on the scoresheet; his follow-up in a goalmouth scramble teeing up a Chris Richards goal from close range. 

A week later and he was making a first start of the season. Riad was thrown in the deep-end, away to Nottingham Forest, with the hosts fighting against relegation. 

He came through 60 minutes of action unscathed, giving a flawless performance in the process.

“It was amazing,” he said. “To come off the pitch after so long away and think I’d got past that tough time. 

“I just felt like a football player again. I was really happy. The next day of course I felt tired, but this is completely normal after one year without playing. 

“My family were so happy for me, that will be my main memory for me after the Forest game.” 

Since that day Riad has continued to play his part in Palace’s relentless season. He came on for Maxence Lacroix away to Fiorentina at a difficult moment in the away leg of the Conference League quarter-final.

The Italians had just pulled one goal back and were putting the Palace backline under pressure, with still well over half of the game to play. 

Riad didn’t put a foot wrong in the second-half. Fiorentina got another goal, but the Eagles progressed on aggregate. 

He has all the attributes to be a top-class defender, strong, good in the air, but also positionally sharp and excellent on the ball. But his defensive idol of choice is a surprising one, or at least it is for an ex-Barcelona player. 

“You’re not going to expect it,” said Riad. “But I always really liked Raphaël Varane. I had to like him secretly.

“He was so good with the ball. Good in the aerial duels. He never seemed to lose a header. He’s someone I admired a lot when I was coming through as a defender.”

Riad is certainly a player who is always looking to perfect his craft. England is always considered a difficult place for young defenders to learn their trade, but Riad has enjoyed the challenge. 

“It’s a position you always have to keep learning about,” he added. “The hardest part of defending… and it looks easy from the outside, is just to be in the right place. Because if you’re in the right place at the right moment, it’s going to look easy. 

“You’re going to find taking the ball so much easier. But actually getting your position right in the first place, that’s not easy.

"The best just make it look easy. But I think defending is tougher mentally than other positions. You’re always having to deal with different attackers in different situations. 

“I think you have to be really intelligent to be in the right place at the right time. That’s the hardest thing.” 

Riad has already faced his share of different opponents both in England and Europe during his time at Palace.

But the toughest attacker he has faced so far, according to the man himself, comes from his time in La Liga. 

“I played against Atlético Madrid back when I was at Betis,” he recalls. “And I played against [Álvaro] Morata. 

“That was really tough. It was a difficult game for me because he was so good at the runs in-behind.

“He was good at protecting the ball, good with the ball at his feet. And physically he’s a big guy, but I think that experience really helped me.” 

During his time at Palace, Riad has mainly featured in a back three. Considering he came through at Barcelona, where 4-3-3 reigns supreme, this might have been a challenge. 

But instead he looks comfortable and has enjoyed playing alongside his fellow centre-backs. 

“To play with them is amazing,” he adds. “They’re really good defenders and they’re still young, all in their twenties. 

“But I enjoy it because when I play with them, they help you a lot. “Apart from being good footballers – they are really good teammates as well, which is important.” 

Having won four caps for the Morocco national team prior to the summer, Riad also featured in the March international window – a landmark one for the defender on his way back.

A place in the World Cup finals squad was the next natural step. His national side, who reached the semi-finals last time in Qatar, had the small matter of an opening game against five-time champions Brazil – drawing 1-1 and impressing many – before a second-game defeat of Scotland.

“I’m really excited to play the World Cup,” Riad smiles. “One of the parts of being a footballer I love the most is playing for my country. 

“I’ve been going to the national team since I was 14, so to play in America would mean everything.” 

But before the prospect of facing the Seleção in front of 82,500 people in New Jersey, there is the chance to finish the season on a high with Palace.

Regardless of how it all pans out on the international stage, Riad is enjoying his time in South London.

“To come here, to be honest, it’s always felt like home,” he says. "From day one I really enjoyed it, even when the injuries made it tough.

"I didn’t feel like I needed too long to adjust after coming here. Obviously there is the language difference at first, but I’m getting better and feeling good. 

“The teammates, the staff… everyone at the club has helped me every day. I feel at home here."

Chadi Riad – who will hope to help Morocco seal qualification from Group C, as the Atlas Lions play Haiti in Atlanta tonight (23:00 BST) – is competing at his first World Cup, a huge achievement. 

Morocco star Chadi Riad on overcoming injury setbacks to feature at the World Cup

Three Eagles have not only scored once, but twice, with Daniel Muñoz becoming the latest after he scored in Colombia's 1-0 win over DR Congo.

Colombia's win saw them join France, with both Jean-Philippe Mateta and Maxence Lacroix in their squad, Jørgen Strand Larsen's Norway and Chris Richards' USA, in qualifying for the last 32.

That means there'll be plenty of Palace representation in the knockout stage and we still have the final round of group games before then. 

In the meantime, here are some of the best facts and figures involving our players from the first two rounds of fixtures....

Every side at the 2026 FIFA World Cup Finals has now played twice, with Palace's contingent already leaving their mark.

Palace at the World Cup: The best numbers so far

- [**The best numbers from Palace's World Cup contingent**](https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/first-team/palace-at-the-world-cup-the-numbers/)

It’s finally here. The 2026 FIFA World Cup got underway on Thursday 11th June, when co-hosts Mexico defeated South Africa in the opening game – the first of a record 104 matches at this World Cup, due to the expansion of the tournament from 32 to 48 teams.

With 13 of our players involved, there’s more scope for Palace-related storylines than at any other major international tournament in history. So here's your Palace guide, which gives you everything you need to know…

#### **How are our players getting on?**

##### **Group D**

**Chadi Riad** completed an impressive group stage as he helped Morocco to qualify for the knockout stage with a 4-2 win over Haiti in Atlanta.

Despite falling behind twice, Morocco twice drew level before Riad helped make the difference in the 78th minute.

The Palace man got his head to a dangerous corner which Soufiane Rahimi controlled, before firing into the back of the net, giving Riad his first assist for the senior national team. 

That put Morocco in front and Gessime Yassine added another late on to secure progress to the Round of 32.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">After their 4-2 victory over Haiti, Morocco seal their place in history as the African nation with the most World Cup match wins 🏅 <a href="https://t.co/n8drDhoLoE">pic.twitter.com/n8drDhoLoE</a></p>&mdash; Match of the Day (@BBCMOTD) <a href="https://x.com/BBCMOTD/status/2069940557477183513?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 25, 2026</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Morocco had already taken four points from their opening two games after a narrow win over Scotland on matchday two.

Ismael Saibari smashed home the only goal in the second minute from a tight angle. But with Scotland piling on the pressure in the second-half, Riad and his defensive colleagues held firm to secure a vital victory.

Riad had already excelled in a 1-1 draw against Brazil in the opening round of games.

The 22-year-old completed 35 of his 40 passes, made three clearances and two recoveries, and won both of his ground duels against the *Selecao* side – with Scotland up next at the Boston Stadium next Friday (19th).

##### **Group K**

For the second game in-a-row, Palace's **Daniel Muñoz** was able to find the breakthrough as Colombia booked their place in the knockout stage with a 1-0 win over DR Congo. 

Once again both he and **Jefferson Lerma** started for Los Cafeteros at the Estadio Guadalajara in Mexico, and they would ultimately combine for the winning goal. 

Muñoz should have netted in the fourth minute, but could only find the side netting after Jhon Arias' shot had been parried into his path.

He then had the ball in the net just two minutes later, after his initial header was saved. However, it was correctly ruled out with Muñoz fractionally offside. 

Colombia continued to dominate in the second-half, but as the game approached the final 15 minutes it looked like Congo might frustrate them.

But it was case of third time lucky for the Palace man. Receiving a clever pass from Juan Fernando Quintero, Muñoz's left-footed shot took a minor deflection to find the net.

In doing so he became the second active Palace player to score in multiple World Cup games at the same finals.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">It&#39;s a moment of quality for Colombia ✨<br><br>Daniel Munoz is at it again! <a href="https://t.co/irLTUdSuhL">pic.twitter.com/irLTUdSuhL</a></p>&mdash; ITV Football (@itvfootball) <a href="https://x.com/itvfootball/status/2069626850968535260?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 24, 2026</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

That was enough for the Colombians. Both Palace men completed the full 90 minutes with their team on course to finish top of Group K. They will do so as long as they avoid defeat to Portugal in their final game. 

Colombia had already thrashed Uzbekistan 3-1 in their opening group game.

With the game level five minutes before the break, former Liverpool man Luis Diaz played a wonderful pass behind the Uzbekistan defence. Muñoz had timed his run to perfection and connected with a superb volley at full stretch to open the scoring. 

A simply stunning strike, and on his World Cup debut no less. 

Uzbekistan did later equalise in the 60th minute through Abbosbek Fayzullaev's close-range header. But Colombia quickly responded through Diaz.

Substitute Jaminton Campaz headed in a third goal late on as both Lerma and Muñoz completed the full 90 minutes.

##### **Group I**

**Ismaïla Sarr** became the first Palace player ever to score a brace in a FIFA World Cup Finals match as he netted twice in Senegal's 3-2 defeat to Norway at the New York New Jersey Stadium on Monday (22nd) evening.

The forward's record-breaking season continued with two brilliantly taken finishes which given his country an outside chance of still qualifying as one of the best third-placed teams in Group I, despite two defeats thus far.

Sarr's first goal arrived with Norway having struck twice either side of half-time, with the Palace No. 7 taking Sadio Mané's pass into his stride and slotting beyond the 'keeper.

Norway extended their advantage to two goals through Erling Haaland's second of the night, but Sarr – late on in injury time – placed home his second from Nicolas Jackson's lay-off to keep his side in the competition, even coming close to sealing a hat-trick with a late header.

Sarr's strikes saw him become the first Palace scorer for an African nation at the World Cup and, with three goals, go level with Papa Bouba Diop as Senegal's all-time top scorer at the competition – and the first to score in more than one edition of the tournament.

**Jørgen Strand Larsen** was an unused substitute for Norway, who secured their qualification for the last 32 with victory.

Earlier that evening, France – in a match disrupted due to torrential weather conditions at half-time – had seen off Iraq 3-0 in Philadelphia.

Kylian Mbappé predictably stole the show for *Les Bleus*, who secured their own qualification with a simple victory over the group outsiders. **Maxence Lacroix** and **Jean-Philippe Mateta** were both in the squad, but not involved on the night.

The pair of results mean that – with France and Norway already through, and facing one another in Boston on Friday (26th) – a big win for Senegal against Iraq in Toronto on the same evening could yet see them reach the last 32.

Sarr had been given a starting role in a 'Palace derby' last Tuesday (16th), as his Senegal team faced France. 

Les Bleus had both **Lacroix** and **Mateta** on the substitutes bench, while former Eagle Michael Olise started in attack. In a tight first-half, Senegal impressed as the 2018 winners struggled to find their rhythm. Sarr had a decent chance on the half hour mark, but slipped as took aim at goal. 

Then, right on half-time, the Palace man produced a smart run to break away from the French defenders and get on the end of a cross, only for the bounce of the ball to lead to an awkward finish. Sarr's effort cleared the crossbar and the two sides went in level.

In the second-half, France showed their class. Kylian Mbappe broke the deadlock with a clever finish from an Olise pass and would later fire home a sensational long-range effort deep into stoppage time.

Bradley Barcola had earlier made it 2-0, by which point Sarr had been substituted. His replacement Ibrahim Mbaye pulled a goal back with an excellent finish, but Mbappe's fine effort meant it finished 3-1 to France. 

Norway got their campaign off to a winning start as they defeated Iraq 4-1 in Boston in the other game. However, **Jørgen Strand Larsen** did not get on the pitch on this occasion. 

The forward had been affected by illness in the lead up to the game and remained on the bench.

##### **Group H**

**Yéremy Pino** made his World Cup Finals debut as a second-half substitute for Spain in their dominant 4-0 win over Saudi Arabia on Sunday (21st).

The Palace No. 10 entered the fray at half-time as a replacement for Lamine Yamal, with La Roja already three goals to the good in Atlanta, and helped force an own-goal from Hassan Altambakti four minutes later.

Pino and Spain's dominant victory saw them move top of Group H, after Pino had been on the bench for La Roja's opening 0-0 draw with Cape Verde. 

Next up for Spain is a match against Uruguay in Zapopan, Mexico.

##### **Group D**

**Chris Richards** was again in action helping USA to a second win of the tournament, as the co-hosts took control of their group with a 2-0 win over Australia. 

With Richards once again starting, one of his opposing numbers, Australian defender Cameron Burgess, inadvertently stabbed the ball into his own net in the 11th minute after US striker Folarin Balogun teased the ball across the face of goal.

And the Americans doubled their lead not long before half-time when Alex Freeman reacted quickest to a deflected Sergino Dest strike.

Richards once again showed himself to be at full fitness by completing the 90 minutes and gave another impressive display in the three-man USA defence.

It meant defeat for Australia, coached by former Palace club captain Tony Popovic – whose coaching staff includes another former Eagles skipper in Mile Jedinak – but they are still well placed to progress to the knockout stage.

Richards and the USA had already thrashed Türkiye 4-1, meaning they have secured a place in the last 32. They will qualify with maximum points if they beat Paraguay in their final game.

##### **Group L**

England got off to a winning start as they saw off Croatia 4-2 in a thriller in Dallas on Wednesday (17th), with Harry Kane (2), Jude Bellingham and Marcus Rashford getting the goals.

Palace skipper **Dean Henderson** remained an unused substitute as his team produced an excellent display.

The Three Lions were then held to a 0-0 draw by Ghana in their second game in Boston, despite creating the better chances. Henderson watched on from the bench for the second successive game.

Despite the draw, they remain top of Group L. 

England next face Panama on Saturday evening where they will aim to qualify as group winners.

##### **Group B**

After taking a point against Bosnia in their opening game, **Owen Goodman**'s Canada were back in action on Thursday (18th) against Qatar. 

Both sides were looking for their first ever win at a Finals and it was the co-hosts who prevailed. Canada ran out 6-0 winners with Jonathan David scoring a hat-trick as Qatar were reduced to nine men.

Goodman remained on the bench for the full 90 minutes as his team eased to victory in Toronto.

##### **Group E**

**Evann Guessand** made his first appearance at the World Cup Finals on Saturday (20th), as his Ivory Coast side were edged out by Germany in Toronto.

Guessand watched on from the bench in the first-half as his teammates put in a superb performance, taking the lead through captain Franck Kessie in the 30th minute.

But Die Mannschaft would hit back after the break with substitute Deniz Undav levelling. Guessand was then introduced in the 75th minute and, playing in a central role, the forward was involved as the Ivory Coast did create a number of good opportunities.

But they were unable to take them and suffered heartbreak in injury time with Undav produced a smart finish to win the game.

Guessand had already been an unused substitute in the Elephants 1-0 win over Ecuador in Philadelphia, meaning they still have a good chance of progressing to the next round.

##### **Group F**

After becoming the first Palace player to score a a non-penalty goal at the World Cup Finals in their opening fixture, Daichi Kamada made it two goals from two games as Japan thrashed Tunisia 4-0 for their first win of the tournament on Sunday (21st).

The Palace man rounded off a sweeping team move for the opener in Monterrey just four minutes in.

Three further goals followed for the Asian side who produced an excellent performance to move onto four points and eliminate Tunisia in the process.

Kamada had already scored in a 2-2 draw with the Netherlands when he diverted a flying header from Koki Ogaw into the net to salvage a point with two minutes to play.

#### **What is the format?**

For the first time in history, the World Cup will be contested by 48 teams. The expansion is helped by a record 16 venues, with USA, Mexico and Canada sharing co-host duties.

11 cities from USA will host matches, three from Mexico and two from Canada.

The 48 teams are divided into 12 groups of four. The top two teams in each group, plus the eight best third-placed teams, will advance to a new round of 32.

From that point on it is straight knockout.

From the quarter-final stage onwards the US hosts every game, with the Final taking place in New Jersey/New York Stadium, normally known as MetLife Stadium, on Sunday, 19th July.

#### **Which Groups feature Palace players?**

Nine of the twelve groups contain nations that have Palace players in their squads.

Groups B, C, D, E, F, H, I, K, and finally L, are all ones to watch.

##### **Group B**

Co-hosts Canada are in Group B who have included Palace ‘keeper Owen Goodman in their final squad.

Goodman is yet to play at senior level for his country, who face Bosnia, Qatar and Switzerland.

With third place potentially progressing, the co-hosts will be looking to reach the knockout round for the first time.

##### **Group C**

Chadi Riad and Morocco can be found in an intriguing looking Group C, alongside Brazil, Scotland and Haiti.

The reigning AFCON champions have a tough looking first fixture against the five-time winners.

But after reaching the semi-finals in Qatar four years ago, Morocco will be looking for another deep run.

##### **Group D**

Chris Richards will have the chance to play for his country on home soil at a World Cup, with USA drawn in Group D at the Finals.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side will be aiming to match their run to the last eight in 2002 with the home advantage and will start off by meeting Paraguay in their first game in New Jersey.

They then face Australia and Türkiye to round out the group stage.

##### **Group E**

Here is where we find Ivory Coast and Palace’s on-loan forward Evann Guessand.

Guessand’s team open up against Ecuador, before then facing four-time winners Germany.

They close out against tournament debutants Curacao in Philadelphia.

##### **Group F**

Japan have included Palace midfielder Daichi Kamada in their squad who is coming into the Finals one cap short of reaching 50.

The four-time Asian Cup winners are looking to reach the quarter-finals for the first time – having been knocked out in the Round of 16 on four previous occasions.

They will face Netherlands, Sweden and Tunisia in Group F.

##### **Group H**

Yéremy Pino will take part in his first World Cup Finals, as part of Spain’s 26-man squad.

The 2010 winners and current European Champions haven’t got past the last 16 in the last two tournaments but will be looking to go further in North America.

Spain are alongside tournament debutants Cape Verde, Saudi Arabia and Uruguay, with their final game against the South American side.

**Group I**

Group I has the most Palace representation, with four of our first team all involved. 2022 finalists France will be able to call upon both Maxence Lacroix and Jean-Philippe Mateta as they go in search of a third star.

In their first game they face Senegal, who will be fired by Palace’s top goalscorer from 2025/26, Ismaïla Sarr.

Then we have Norway and Jørgen Strand Larsen as the third team in Group I. Norway face Senegal on matchday two and France on matchday three. Former Asian Cup winners Iraq make up the group, for their first World Cup finals appearance since 1986.

##### **Group K**

Palace duo Daniel Muñoz and Jefferson Lerma are in Group K, hoping to push Colombia to the knockout stage.

They open up with a game against newcomers Uzbekistan. Then it’s a meeting with DR Congo and finally Portugal in Miami on the final day of the group stages.

##### **Group L**

The final group of the first round includes Euro 2024 finalists England. And, as he was in Germany at the Euros two years ago, Dean Henderson is included the Three Lions squad.

It will be the first time the Palace skipper has experienced a World Cup Finals. England open up against Croatia in a rematch of the 2018 semi-final.

Thomas Tuchel’s side then face Ghana in Boston, before rounding things off against Panama.

#### **Familiar faces**

There are plenty of other Palace connections to look out for in North America throughout the next five weeks.

Australia will be one team to follow, led by two former Palace heroes on the touchline. Former defender Tony Popovic is the Socceroos Manager, with ex-Eagles' captain Mile Jedinak one of his trusted coaches.

Jedinak memorably became the first active Palace player to score in a World Cup Finals back in 2014, when scoring for Australia in a thrilling 3-2 defeat to the Netherlands.

On the playing side, several former Eagles will be looking to go far in the tournament. They include Michael Olise, who has become an key man for a heavily stacked France squad in recent times. The French go into the tournament as one of the favourites to go all the way.

Former Palace skipper Marc Guéhi is likely to be England’s first-choice centre-back. It will be Guéhi’s second major tournament after playing a key role in the Three Lions run to the final at the last European Championships in 2024.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka is set to be an important player for DR Congo in Group K, with the The Leopards making their first appearance since the 1974 Finals.

Palace’s former striker Jordan Ayew returns for his third World Cup Finals with Ghana and will be reunited with former club teammate Dean Henderson during the group stage, when the Black Stars face England. 

One more cap for Ayew will see him become Ghana’s most capped player of all-time, as he currently stands level with his brother Jordan.

Meanwhile for UK viewers, former Palace hero Ian Wright will be a key part of ITV’s punditry team throughout the five weeks.

Wright will also be joined by former World Cup winner and Palace Manager from 2021 to 2023, Patrick Vieira.

Former Jamaica international and ex-Eagle Jobi McAnuff will also on punditry duties for the broadcaster.

#### **How can I watch in the UK?**

Every single match will be broadcast on either BBC or ITV, as well as their respective streaming platforms. The World Cup Final is broadcast by both. 

A full breakdown of [the schedule is here](https://www.live-footballontv.com/live-world-cup-football-on-tv.html).
