The International Cup brings together 16 Premier League 2 sides and 16 European clubs, split into four groups of eight. Each English side faces the four international opponents in their group once.
Palace are in Group D alongside PSG, PSV Eindhoven, RSC Anderlecht and FC Porto, with all four fixtures taking place at Sutton United’s Borough Sports Ground.
The Young Eagles currently sit top of Group D alongside Brighton & Hove Albion on three points, having opened their campaign with a statement 2-1 victory over PSG. Adler Nascimento’s spectacular free-kick and Seb Williams’ sweetly struck half-volley secured the win.
Anderlecht’s academy has produced some of Belgian football’s biggest names, including Jérémy Doku, Romelu Lukaku and Vincent Kompany, while their reserve side, RSCA Futures, compete in Belgium’s second tier.
Palace have faced Anderlecht once before in the competition, winning 3-1 in the 2024/25 group stage through goals from Zach Marsh, Mofe Jemide and Jemiah Umolu.
