Crystal Palace FC USA

Originally named Crystal Palace FC USA, Crystal Palace Baltimore was established in 2006 and is the sister organization of the world-renowned Crystal Palace Football Club in the UK. It was the 1st professional soccer staff in the US with a direct link to an expert English football (soccer) staff. Crystal Palace UK chairman, Simon Jordan, saw an opportunity not only to evolve the footprint of Crystal Palace worldwide, but more specifically to tap into the under-appreciated pool of American soccer talent.
