UNITED KINGDOM, AUG 11 – Crystal Palace will compete in the third-tier Conference League after breaching UEFA ownership rules involving John Textor's stakes in both Palace and Lyon, the court ruled.
- In Lausanne, the Court of Arbitration for Sport dismissed Crystal Palace FC’s request against UEFA’s demotion from the Europa League after UEFA found ownership breaches.
- On July 11, UEFA's Club Financial Control Body initially decided only one club could enter the Europa League due to ownership conflicts, and Palace missed the March 1 deadline to clarify Textor’s control.
