Enjoy Illinois becomes Official Destination Partner of Crystal Palace FC
Enjoy Illinois is now Crystal Palace Football Club’s Official Destination Partner.
Premier league team Palace visited Chicago, Illinois, in 2023 during their pre-season tour and returned to the US earlier this summer for the second successive year, playing in the Stateside Cup.
Crystal Palace will also be returning to Illinois for the next Premier League Mornings Live, taking place in Chicago on 21-22 September 2024.
Enjoy Illinois will be displayed on the LED boards at Selhurst Park, interview backdrops and in-stadia TVs.
Enjoy Illinois will also sponsor the popular halftime challenge at Selhurst Park and will run competitions throughout the season where fans can win prizes.
Barry Webber, Chief Commercial Officer of Crystal Palace, said: “We’re delighted to announce this partnership with Enjoy Illinois after our warm welcome in Chicago during our 2023 pre-season tour.
Crystal Palace has a strong connection to the US.
“Former USMNT star Chris Richards has become a firm favourite at Selhurst Park. We hope this partnership can continue to deepen our relationship between the club and our fans in Illinois,” he added.
Daniel Thomas, Deputy Director of the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, Office of Tourism, said: “We welcomed 2.16 million international visitors to Illinois in 2023, and the UK remains one of our top five markets.
“Illinois is also the number five sports market in the U.S (according to sports ETA research) and this collaboration provides a fantastic opportunity to showcase the very best our state has to offer.”
