Crystal Palace appeal for urgent help to find missing worker from club’s charity after he was lost in Dolomites
CRYSTAL PALACE have appealed for information to help find a missing worker from the club’s charity.
Aziz Ziriat, who works for Eagles charity Palace for Life, has been missing since January 1 alongside his friend Sam Harris.
The 36-year-old charity worker was last heard from on Wednesday while hiking in the Dolomites in Italy, when he and Harris’ phones last had signal.
Ziriat and Harris, 35, missed their return flight home yesterday.
The pair were last known to be near a hut called Casina Dosson which is near the town Tione Di Trento, near Riva Del Garda, on Lake Garda.
A post on Crystal Palace’s official X account appealed for help.
It read: “A member of the Palace For Life staff and his friend have been missing since 1st January in the Dolomites.
“If anyone knows the area, is able to support further or has any information that will help, please call 999 and reference CAD 0197/07 Jan25.”
The same post was shared on the Palace Women’s team account.
While a number of posts from the charity’s official account detailed descriptions, heights and the date of birth for both the missing persons.
An image of a map has also been shared that shows a potential hiking route that Ziriat and Harris may have been taking.
Fans are being urged to share images and information on their social outlets to increase the search.
While the club and charity have said they will post updates online as they receive them.
Police in the UK and Italy are aware of the incident and the Italian emergency services have launched a search in the area.
If anyone has any information or is able to support further please call 999 and reference CAD 0197/07 Jan25
