Brighton Can Still Play European Football Next Season Instead of Crystal Palace - on One Condition
- Crystal Palace won the FA Cup on May 17, 2025, qualifying for next season's Europa League amidst ownership scrutiny in Switzerland.
- The club faces UEFA investigation because majority shareholder John Textor also controls Lyon, which qualified for the same competition.
- Palace officials met UEFA's financial control body on Tuesday to prove no controlling influence conflicts and to avoid exclusion from Europe.
- Textor holds 43–45% of Palace and 88–90% of Lyon but claims no decisive football influence, stating, "Look, all of the UK knows that I don’t have decisive influence over Palace."
- If UEFA rules are breached, Palace may drop out of Europe, with their Europa League place passing to Nottingham Forest, while Textor seeks to sell his stake to resolve issues.
