Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish says their £20million training ground redevelopment will have a "transformative effect on the future of the football club and local community".
Located in Beckenham, south east London, the Crystal Palace Academy boasts state-of-the-art facilities that will become an important resource for the development of young talent as well as community programmes.
"[It will not only enable us] to attract and retain the best players in one of England's richest footballing areas but also to help scores of young people and local schools enjoy the facilities," Parish said.
