UEFA Club Financial Control Body: A day after Crystal Palace FC (CPFC) celebrated their win in the Community Shield against Liverpool, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) dismissed the appeal by the club against UEFA, Nottingham Forest FC and Olympique Lyonnais (OL) after UEFA removed CPFC from the Europa League 2025/2026 due to a breach of UEFA multi-club ownership regulations.

As a result, CPFC will be admitted to compete in the UEFA Conference League 2025/2026. The Eagles had achieved qualification for the European tournament after winning the 2024/25 FA Cup.

"The appeal sought to annul the decision by the UEFA Club Financial Control Body on 11 July 2025, which found CPFC and OL non-compliant with multi-club ownership regulations. Alongside the annulment of the decision, CPFC requested readmission to the UEFA Europa League with Nottingham Forest or OL’s admission rejected.
