Crystal Palace Slam UEFA and CAS After Europa League Snub
Crystal Palace launched an attack on UEFA and the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) after being denied a Europa League spot despite winning the FA Cup in May against Manchester City.
The South London club accused football's governing bodies of undermining 'sporting merit' and applying rules unevenly to favour certain teams, particularly those involved in multi-club ownership.
Palace claimed such clubs exploit 'blind trust' structures to skirt restrictions, while their independence counted for nothing.
The statement also condemned the CAS process, citing a lack of transparency, refusal to hear key witnesses, and disclosure requests being denied, a system they allege produces 'pre-determined outcomes' that damage European football's integrity.
The ruling confirmed Palace's demotion to the Europa Conference League, where they must overcome FC Midtjylland or Fredrikstad in a two-legged play-off to reach the group stage.

Preview: PSG set to meet Tottenham in UEFA Super Cup - World
Paris Saint-Germain get back on the hunt for trophies in the UEFA Super Cup against Tottenham on Wednesday. It's the annual early-season match between the winners of the Champions League and Europa League — and PSG starts as the big favorite. Coming off winning the treble, including the Champions League for the first time, the Qatari-backed team from the French capital will look to bounce back from losing to Chelsea in the final of the Club World Cup in the United States. Facing them at Stadio Friuli in Udine is another London club in Tottenham, which ended a 17-year wait for silverware by winning the Europa League by beating Manchester United in the final. Spurs have a new manager in Thomas Frank but also some big absentees, with attacking midfielders James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski injured and long-time star Son Heung-min recently sold to LAFC. It is Tottenham's first appearance in the Super Cup. PSG has played in it once, losing 9-2 on aggregate to Juventus over two legs in 1996. PSG's players have just returned to training after the Club World Cup, which extended last season to mid-July. Tottenham should be more match-sharp, having played a raft of friendlies including against Arsenal and Bayern Munich.

Everton Sign Jack Grealish on Loan from Manchester City
Rana Atef Everton have officially announced the signing of Jack Grealish from Manchester City on a season-long loan during the current summer transfer window. In a statement on the club's official website, Everton confirmed that the 29-year-old England international will wear the No. 18 for the 2025/26 season. Grealish becomes the Toffees' sixth summer signing, following Charlie Alcaraz, Thierno Barry, Mark Travers, Adam Aznou, and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. Speaking to Everton's media team after completing the move, Grealish expressed his delight at joining the Merseyside club, revealing that the manager's vision and the passionate fanbase were decisive factors in his decision. 'I'm absolutely delighted to sign for Everton. It's a great club with incredible fans,' Grealish said. 'Once I spoke to the manager, I knew there was only one place I wanted to go. I've also received so many messages from Everton fans on social media – that played a big part in my decision as well. Thank you to everyone for the love and support – I hope I can repay it on the pitch.' Grealish also explained the personal significance behind choosing the No. 18 shirt: 'There's a reason I picked No. 18. My two favourite English players of all time, Wayne Rooney and Paul Gascoigne, both wore it here. When I knew the deal was close, I checked and saw it was available – it was perfect for me. I even spoke to Rooney before joining and told him about my choice. Hopefully, he's happy with it too.' read more Japan Stun Spain 2-1 to Qualify for World Cup Last 16 World Cup 2022: Get to Know Confirmed Line-ups of Japan and Spain Group E Decider Saudi Arabia Bid Farewell to World Cup after 2-1 Loss to Mexico Tunisia Achieve Historic Win over France but Fail to Qualify Tunisia to Clash against France in World Cup Sports Get to Know Squad of Group D Teams in World Cup Sports Al Ahly Gift EGP 70,000 to Players After Claiming Egyptian Super Cup Title Sports Bencharki Hits First 2 Goals with Al Jazira Since Leaving Zamalek Sports Arsenal Possible Line-up for Nottingham Forest Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani
