Selhurst Park Stadium Overview

Selhurst Park has been Crystal Palace's atmospheric and beloved home since 1924, renowned throughout English football for creating one of the Premier League's most intimidating and electrifying environments for visiting teams. With a capacity of 25,486, this South London venue is famous worldwide for the Holmesdale Fanatics in the Holmesdale Road End, who generate extraordinary noise levels and create stunning visual displays with flags, banners, and coordinated chanting that has inspired supporter groups globally. The stadium features traditional English football architecture with four distinct stands - the Main Stand, Arthur Wait Stand, Whitehorse Lane End, and the famous Holmesdale Road End - each contributing to the venue's unique character and acoustic properties. Located in the diverse South London borough of Croydon, Selhurst Park has witnessed Crystal Palace's multiple dramatic promotions and heartbreaking relegations, FA Cup final runs, and countless memorable Premier League moments that have become part of football folklore. Despite its age and relatively modest size compared to modern stadiums, the venue maintains a unique character, raw authenticity, and hostile atmosphere that visiting teams and managers consistently cite as one of the most challenging in English football. The stadium represents the passion, loyalty, and community spirit of South London, creating an authentic football experience that has become increasingly rare in modern football's commercial landscape.
