Crystal Palace’s appeal to compete in Europa League to be heard by CAS on August 8
Crystal Palace have court date set to hear on European future
- Crystal Palace is challenging UEFA's decision to demote them from the Europa League to the third-tier Conference League.
- The demotion is due to UEFA's multi-club ownership rules, specifically concerning John Textor's controlling stake in Palace and his previous ownership of Olympique Lyonnais.
- A closed-door hearing at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) is scheduled for 8 August, with a ruling anticipated by 11 August.
- If Crystal Palace's appeal is unsuccessful, Nottingham Forest, who finished seventh in the Premier League, will take their place in the Europa League.
- Crystal Palace supporters have protested UEFA's decision, including a demonstration at the organisation's headquarters in Switzerland.
