Crystal Palace appeal against Europa League demotion
Briefly

Crystal Palace submitted an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport challenging their demotion from the Europa League to the Conference League. This appeal is directed against Uefa's punishment due to violations of multi-club ownership rules related to John Textor's stakes in both Crystal Palace and Lyon. Nottingham Forest is set to take Palace's place if the decision is upheld. Palace argues Textor does not exert significant control at the club, but Uefa disagrees. A verdict is anticipated before 11 August, ahead of the Europa League group stage starting on 24 September.
Crystal Palace have filed an appeal against their relegation from the Europa League to the Conference League with the Court of Arbitration for Sport, contesting the Uefa decision.
The appeal targets Uefa for imposing sanctions due to multi-club ownership rules breached by John Textor, who owns stakes in both Crystal Palace and Lyon.
If the punishment is upheld, Nottingham Forest will likely replace Crystal Palace in the Europa League after finishing seventh in the Premier League.
Palace contended that John Textor lacks decisive influence at the club, a claim that Uefa did not accept, leading to the imposed sanctions.
