Crystal Palace ultras deliver suitcase of fake money to Uefa HQ in protest to Europa League ruling
Furious Crystal Palace fans launch UEFA protest amid club’s Europa League appeal
- Crystal Palace fans protested UEFA's decision to demote their club from the Europa League to the Conference League.
- The demotion was due to a breach of multi-club ownership rules, specifically concerning co-owner John Textor's involvement with both Palace and Lyon.
- Members of the Holmesdale Fanatics travelled to UEFA's headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, to hand-deliver a letter to president Aleksander Ceferin demanding the ruling be overturned.
- The fan group also presented UEFA with a suitcase of fake money, symbolising perceived contradictions in the organisation's values and conduct.
- Following the protest, Palace lodged an appeal against UEFA, Nottingham Forest, and Lyon with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), with a decision anticipated by 11 August.
