GREATER LONDON, ENGLAND, JUL 14 – Fans oppose UEFA's demotion of Crystal Palace to the Conference League due to shared ownership with Lyon, citing unfair treatment under competition rules.
- On July 15, 2025, hundreds of Crystal Palace fans protested outside Selhurst Park against UEFA’s decision to relegate the club from the Europa League to the Conference League.
