CAS Sets Date for Crystal Palace Verdict over Europa League Demotion

GREATER LONDON, ENGLAND, JUL 30 – Crystal Palace challenge their demotion to the Conference League after breaching UEFA's multi-club ownership rules involving stakes in Lyon, with a ruling expected by August 11.

  • Crystal Palace appealed UEFA's decision demoting them from the Europa League to the third-tier Conference League on July 11 due to multi-club ownership rules.
  • UEFA ruled that as of March 1, John Textor controlled both Palace and Olympique Lyonnais, violating regulations forbidding common ownership in the same competition.
  • Lyon, who finished sixth in Ligue 1, retained their Europa League place, while Nottingham Forest, seventh in the Premier League, would replace Palace if the appeal fails.
  • Crystal Palace’s appeal hearing will be held behind closed doors on August 8 at the CAS, with the decision expected to be announced three days later on August 11.
  • Palace seeks to regain a second-tier competition spot amid protests and ownership changes, including Textor selling his stake to Woody Johnson and resigning from Lyon's board.
