Crystal Palace Announce Official Destination Partnership With Enjoy Illinois
Crystal Palace have announced that Enjoy Illinois has become the club’s Official Destination Partner.
The Eagles visited Chicago, Illinois, in 2023 during their pre-season tour and returned to the United States earlier this summer for the second successive year, playing in the Stateside Cup.
Enjoy Illinois will be displayed on the sleeve of the first team’s training wear, as well as on the LED boards at Selhurst Park, interview backdrops and in-stadia TVs.
Barry Webber, Chief Commercial Officer of Crystal Palace, said: “As a club, we are hugely appreciative of the support we receive from the US, and we’re delighted to announce this partnership with Enjoy Illinois after our warm welcome in Chicago last season.
“Crystal Palace has a significant following among American fans, particularly due to the club’s engaging social media presence and outreach efforts.”
Daniel Thomas, Deputy Director of the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, Office of Tourism, added: “We are thrilled to announce Enjoy Illinois’ new partnership as the Official Destination Partner of Crystal Palace. We welcomed 2.16 million international visitors to Illinois in 2023, and the UK remains one of our top five markets.
“As we gear up for the football season, we’re eager to welcome Crystal Palace fans to discover Illinois’ world class sports entertainment, our vibrant city of Chicago and diverse culture, all while getting your “kicks” on Route 66 and enjoying our small-town charm and thrilling outdoor adventures.”
