Crystal Palace has been demoted to the UEFA Conference League next season after losing its appeal to the sports arbitration court.
The Palace had an incredible season in 2024/25, beating Manchester City in the FA Cup final to win their first major trophy. Normally, winners will be placed in the Europa League for the next season, but the multiclub ownership rules will demote the palace.
Some owner John Tecter owned shares in both Palace and Lyon, so he was also qualified for competition, but the Palace was knocked down by the UEFA Conference League.
The text then sold his shares at the club, the palace appealed the decision, and President Steve Parish said the text had never had a decisive influence on the club and was no longer involved.
They argued that they were chosen by the UEFA and that the rules were not consistently applied.
In fact, the Palace presented evidence that only members of the European Club Association (ECA) could extend the UEFA March deadline until May 31 to establish blind trust in compliance with multi-club regulations.
This allowed the club to be blindly trusted at the end of April, as Evangelos Marinakis, the owner of Nottingham Forest, also owns Olympiacos.
In other words, Forest is expected to play in the Europa League, while Palace will be held in the Conference League.
Palace owner Parrish said after the appeal, “We decided to get the correct results. Otherwise we will have to look into whether there will be any subsequent steps. But we don’t know that we will not be able to compete after Friday.”

Parish has other important things at the moment. He suggests that Starman Mark Guech has not written a new contract and may have to sell him with interest from Premier League Champions Liverpool.
Parrish said: “Of course we have to do that. It’s a shame that it’s a problem for us to leave that caliber player for free.
“Joachim (Andersen) went (to Fulham last summer) and couldn’t afford to lose both.
“Then we had another bid in January, but that was a different situation. We need to see what happens. But we need a new contract or some kind of conclusion.”
