Crystal Palace Loses Appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport
The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) announced today the rejection of the appeal submitted by Crystal Palace regarding their exclusion from participating in the European League and playing in the Conference League.
According to information from trusted journalist Ben Jacobs, Nottingham Forest will replace Crystal Palace in the European League.
Crystal Palace confirmed in an official statement that they intend to explore all available legal avenues to challenge the decision, emphasizing their commitment to their rights to participate in the European League.
UEFA had decided to relegate Crystal Palace to the Conference League due to "conflict of interest," stemming from the ownership of the club's former owner and president, American John Textor, holding shares in French club Olympique Lyonnais, which contradicts the regulations that prevent two teams owned by the same owner from competing in the same European competition during the same season.
