The University of Greenwich is proud to announce a new partnership with Crystal Palace Football Club, further strengthening its belief in the power of sport and education to drive positive change, both for students and communities across South London.
As part of the partnership, University of Greenwich branding will appear on digital screens across the stadium, helping to showcase the university's presence and impact in South London and beyond. The collaboration will also bring a range of exclusive opportunities for students and staff, including discounted general admission tickets for selected Crystal Palace Women’s and Under-21 Academy home matches, and invitations to club events. Students will also have access to potential Open Days, offering a first look into career pathways within professional sport.
Additionally, students will have the chance to secure work placements with the club, get hands-on experience in matchday operations, contribute to live projects, and hear from Crystal Palace professionals through guest speaker sessions on campus.
Barry Webber, Chief Commercial Officer at Crystal Palace Football Club, said:
“We’re thrilled to welcome the University of Greenwich to the Crystal Palace family. This partnership is about more than branding, it's about offering real opportunities for young people to dive into careers in sport, business, and media, and gain invaluable experience with a Premier League football club. We can’t wait to collaborate closely with the university and their talented students in the seasons to come.”
Professor Jane Harrington, Vice-Chancellor and CEO of University of Greenwich, said:
“We are proud to partner with Crystal Palace Football Club, an organisation that shares our core values on and off the pitch.
This partnership will open up new opportunities for our students, bring us even closer to the community, and demonstrates what is possible when education and sport come together.”
