Crystal Palace announce new shirt number for fans' favourite | OneFootball

Crystal Palace have confirmed that Colombian international Daniel Muñoz will wear the No. 2 shirt for the upcoming 2025/26 Premier League season.

Muñoz joined Palace in January 2024 from Genk and has quickly established himself as a key figure in the Eagles' defence. Known for his energy, overlapping runs and fierce commitment, the 29-year-old has already become a fan favourite at Selhurst Park.

The number two shirt has traditionally been worn by full-backs, and the switch is likely a reflection of Muñoz’s status as first-choice right-back heading into the new campaign under manager Oliver Glasner.

Palace fans will get their first look at Muñoz in his new number when the team completes their pre-season preparations ahead of the Premier League’s return in mid-August.

This news comes just a day after the club confirmed a major off-field development, with American businessman Woody Johnson completing his purchase of Eagle Football’s shareholding in Crystal Palace.

With stability off the pitch and clarity on it, all eyes now turn to the upcoming season as Palace look to build on a strong finish last term.
