What is the Group?
The CPFC Supporters Group for Women is a fan-led group dedicated to further strengthening an inclusive and supportive environment for women within the Palace fanbase and beyond.
The group will provide a space for female supporters to connect, share experiences, and work together to enhance our matchday atmosphere and drive positive change.
The group will also advocate for improvements, address issues and ensure that all women, whether lifelong Palace fans or new to the football community, feel comfortable, valued, and empowered to support the club.
Although the group itself will meet and operate independently, its mission has the full support of the club.

Applications from supporters who fall into these categories will be reviewed on 21st February by the club’s internal Women’s Working Group.
