The Premier League side's chief executive Phillip Alexander has been speaking during a visit to Cameroon.
The club is hoping to help at national level and to use football to assist in communities as well.
"It's about helping the federation and ultimately for the national team to do well in the Africa Cup of Nations Cup and World Cup," he said.
"We want to show that as a football club we do things slightly differently and we are proud of that.
"We want to engage with the federation to help in using best practices with performance staff, coaches, the communication team and marketing.
"We can be a good partner as a small and growing club. If we play our part we can win the hearts and minds of so many Cameroonians who follow the Premier League and maybe get a player to Crystal Palace."
"We are part of the Premier League, the most successful league in the world, and every week hundreds of the population in Cameroon watch the games."
The meeting was also an opportunity for the Fecafoot President Tombi A Roko Sidiki to present his 11-point action plan aimed at changing the fortunes of the federation.
One of his missions is aimed at developing the country's infrastructure and his first plan is the construction of artificial pitches in seven regions of the country.

Any combination of injuries, departures or drops in form for Andres Iniesta, Ivan Rakitic, Arda Turan, Rafinha or Sergi Roberto could see Cameroonian teen Wilfred Kaptoum to be up in Barca first team.
That's a lot of team-mates he has to plough through to get into Barcelona's starting lineup, but we do know Luis Enrique likes the 19-year-old midfielder.
That might be the only possible reason he stays at the club next season waiting for this chance, because there's little benefit for him to keep plying his trade in Group 3 of Segunda B.
Barcelona B aren't getting promoted back to Segunda A, and Kaptoum would develop quicker playing regular football in Spain's top flight.
Like Denis Suarez and Alen Halilovic, he could be sent out to one of the club’s La Liga rivals next season and, just as the two attacking midfielders before him did, improve rapidly.
Kaptoum plays similarly in style to Andres Iniesta—albeit the youngster is obviously a long way beneath the heights of the Spaniard.
The Cameroonian star is extremely creative with the ball at his feet, and boy does it stick there once it's within his control.
Kaptoum made his debut against Villanovense in the Copa del Rey in October. He was Barcelona's best player and the team's driving force on an otherwise disappointing, drab evening in which they drew 0-0.
Strong in the dribble but with a good eye for a pass, too, Kaptoum often draws attention towards him during games. He is hard to ignore.
