Crystal Palace – 2024/25 FA Cup winners!
Crystal Palace Football Club have been crowned 2024/25 FA Cup winners!
Yes, you read that correctly!
Our third FA Cup Final proved the charm for the Eagles, who defeated Manchester City by a goal to 'nil at a sold-out Wembley Stadium on a day in our history which will never be forgotten.
Ebere Eze's clinical first-time finish in the first-half; a Dean Henderson penalty save from Omar Marmoush before the interval; and a defensive performance for the ages, one characterised by the most incredible commitment, courage and belief, all combined to see us through – in front of a sea of roaring Red and Blue fans at Wembley Stadium.
The result sees us lift the FA Cup for the very first time.
The win further seals our place in the illustrious history of the world’s most famous domestic knockout tournament, having helped found the Cup in 1871, when we played in its first-ever semi-final tie.
The silverware is also our first since the Full Members’ Cup – also at Wembley in 1990/91 – and the very first major trophy in our 164-year existence.
Palace fans can not only look forward to a summer of celebrations – but also a historic first-ever tour in a major European competition proper, having automatically qualified for the league phase of next season’s UEFA Europa League.
Oliver Glasner’s side will also return to Wembley to compete in the 2025/26 season-opening FA Community Shield in August, where we will take on Premier League winners Liverpool.
For now, though… let the celebrations begin.
What.
A.
Day.
