Overview
- UEFA enforced its ban on common ownership when John Textor’s stakes in Crystal Palace and Olympique Lyon led to Palace’s Europa League exclusion.
- Crystal Palace lodged a fast-track appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport and has exchanged written submissions.
- An oral hearing will be scheduled ahead of the August 11 deadline for CAS to decide the case.
- Palace is provisionally placed in next season’s Conference League while the appeal is pending.
- If CAS upholds UEFA’s decision, Nottingham Forest will inherit Palace’s Europa League berth.
