From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Crystal Palace Football Club is a professional association football club based in Selhurst, South London, England. Founded in 1905, the club first played in the Southern League, and competed in this league for eleven seasons before being elected to play in the Football League in 1920 as members of the Third Division.[1][2] Palace won the Third Division in their first season immediately gaining promotion to the Second Division.[1] The team achieved their highest league placing in the 1990–91 season when they finished in 3rd place of the First Division.[3] In 1992 the 22 teams in the First Division broke away from the Football League to form the Premier League, Palace were relegated from the inaugural season in 20th place, level on points with 19th place Oldham Athletic but with an inferior goal difference.[4][5] The team would rejoin the Premier League and be relegated after one season in 1994, 1997 and 2004.[2][6] They won the 2013 Football League Championship play-off final to once again be promoted into the Premier League where they currently compete.[7]
