What does playing in Europa League mean for Nottingham Forest? Key questions answered
For much of last season, Nottingham Forest built a sustained push for Champions League qualification. With Nuno Espirito Santo's side challenging for a top-five finish, Forest fans began to dream of a first return to the European stage for three decades. A stuttering finale to the campaign ensured Forest slipped down to seventh, which still secured a place in the Conference League. Advertisement But Crystal Palace have been punished by UEFA over multi-club ownership rules — and relegated to the Conference League as a result — with John Textor's Eagle Football's 43 per cent stake in Palace deemed to be in conflict with Eagle Football's majority stake in French side Lyon, after both clubs qualified for the Europa League. And Forest have been promoted to the Europa League in their place. Here we breakdown the key questions for fans after the news… They have yet to comment on the ruling. The UEFA Europa League (UEL) is an annual tournament staged by UEFA since 1971. It is the second tier of European competition, behind the UEFA Champions League — which Forest won twice, under Brian Clough — and above the Conference League. It replaced the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup when it was initially formed as the UEFA Cup. Wolverhampton Wanderers and Tottenham battled it out in the first final, in 1972, when Spurs emerged victorious. The competition took on its current name in 2009, amid a change in format, following a merger with the UEFA Intertoto Cup, which resulted in an extended group phase. Last season the format was altered again, this time to create an expanded league phase of 36 teams. Overall, the competition has been won most times by Spanish clubs (14), followed by English and Italian sides (10 each). Sevilla are the most successful club, having lifted the trophy seven times. Tottenham are the holders, having beaten Manchester United 1-0 in the 2025 final. There is still a feeling of injustice among some former players, following the UEFA Cup semi-final of 1983-84, in which Forest were beaten by Anderlecht, in controversial circumstances. Numerous key refereeing decisions went against Clough's side and it later emerged that referee Emilio Guruceta Muro had been paid a £27,000 'loan' from Anderlecht chairman Constant Vanden Stock. It was not until 1997 that UEFA punished Anderlecht, banning them from European competitions for a single year. Muro died in a car accident in 1987. Forest will have rather happier memories of their progression to the quarter-finals of the competition under Frank Clark in 1995-96, where they were eventually beaten by German giants Bayern Munich. Thirteen teams qualify directly for the Europa League league phase, with a further 12 sides securing their places through qualifying, which will come to a head on August 21 and August 28, when the two-legged play-off round will be completed. The 36-team line-up is completed by 11 losing teams moving over from the Champions League third qualifying round and play-off stages. The stage at which the teams involved join qualifying is decided by their association club coefficient rankings. Advertisement Genk, Samsunspor, Sigma Olomouc, Aberdeen and Young Boys are the teams confirmed to be involved in the Europa League play-off round so far, with the second leg of the third qualifying round games to be played on Thursday. Shakhtar Donetsk, Panathinaikos, Utrecht, Braga and Lincoln Red Imps are among the 26 teams in the third qualifying round, looking to secure a place in those play-offs. Had Forest remained in the Conference League, they would have been required to play in a play-off round. In the Europa League, they will go straight into the league phase. Forest are among the 13 teams who have already had their place in the League phase confirmed. The others are: England: Aston Villa Italy: Bologna, Roma Spain: Real Betis, Celta Germany: Stuttgart, Freiburg France: Lille, Lyon Netherlands: Go Ahead Eagles Portugal: Porto Croatia: GNK Dinamo In the previous group stage guise, clubs would play three other teams twice. Now each team will play eight matches, half of those fixtures at home and half away. To determine those eight opponents, teams will initially be placed into four seeding pots. Each team will face two opponents from each of those pots. At the end of those games, the top eight sides in the league will qualify immediately for the knockout stage. Those who finish between ninth and 24th will complete in a two-leg play-off for a place in the last 16. Those who finish below 24th will be eliminated. Matchday 1: 24 & 25 September 2025 Matchday 2: 2 October 2025 Matchday 3: 23 October 2025 Matchday 4: 6 November 2025 Matchday 5: 27 November 2025 Matchday 6: 11 December 2025 Matchday 7: 22 January 2026 Matchday 8: 29 January 2026 Knockout phase play-offs: February 19 & 26, 2026 Round of 16: March 12 & 19 Quarter-finals: April 9 & 16 Semi-finals: April 30 & May 7 Final: May 20 The 17th final of the competition since it became the Europa League — and the 55th overall — will be held in Istanbul. It will take place at Besiktas Park, the home of the 16-time Turkish League champions, Besiktas. In 2019, the 40,000-capacity stadium hosted the Super Cup, in which Champions League winners Liverpool beat Europa League winners Chelsea 5-4 on penalties, following a 2-2 draw. The headline is that the overall prize pot for teams competing in the Europa League is almost double that of the Conference League, at €565million (£487m; $660m). Forest's place in the league phase immediately earns them €4.31m (£3.72m). Beyond that, the prize for winning a league phase match is €450,000 (£389k). Advertisement One of the biggest differences between the two competitions is the distribution of funds based on league placing at the end of the initial phase. As well as €450,000 per win, UEFA also awards €150,000 (£129,000) to clubs for a draw. Undistributed amounts — i.e. the remaining €150,000 prize money for every drawn game — are returned to an overall pot which is then distributed proportionally based on league finishes, using a shares system. At the end of the league phase, the top-ranked team receives 36 shares, the second-placed team 35 shares, the team in third 34 shares and so on, right down to the club in 36th, which earns just one share. Each share is initially worth €75,000 (£64,000) in the Europa League — compared with just €28,000 (£24,000) in the Conference League — but each drawn game adds €150,000 to the overall share pot. Meanwhile, teams ranked first to eighth in the league phase bank an extra €600,000 (£518,765). Placing ninth to 16th secures €300,o00 (£259,381). The prize money for advancing in the knockout stages is notably more fruitful in the Europa League, with the champions receiving double that earned by the winners of the Conference League. Should a team win all their matches en route to lifting the Europa League trophy, they would earn a minimum of €32.5m. The winners of the competition will qualify for a place in the 2026-27 UEFA Champions League league phase, if they have not qualified via their domestic competition. They will also get to lift the Europa League trophy which, at 15kg, is the heaviest of all the UEFA silverware. Helpfully, it also has no handles. UEFA keep hold of the original trophy, with the winning club given a full-sized replica. The trophy was designed by Silvio Gazzaniga, who also designed the World Cup trophy. Any club who wins the competition three times in a row or five times overall, will be awarded a multiple-winner badge. Thus far, only Sevilla have one. Those who made a rather optimistic hotel room booking in Leipzig, Germany, in case Forest did manage to reach the Conference League final, will have to put a call in to their travel agent. The clubs Forest are likely to face in the Europa League will provide more difficult opposition, but they might also be easier to get to geographically. The main thing for Forest fans is that they are back on the European stage for the first time in 30 years. And, as Murillo testified in a recent interview, the players intend to give their all, in an effort to come back with some silverware. Spot the pattern.

How does Marinakis avoid multi-club ownership troubles?
Uefa regulations around multi-club ownership and European competitions are in place to prevent collusion. In the governing body's rulebook, a club is required to prove they are not "simultaneously involved in any capacity whatsoever in the management, administration, and/or sporting performance of more than one club participating in a Uefa club competition". Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis, who also controls Greek side Olympiakos, avoided regulations around multi-club ownership by diluting his control of the Premier League side, which was announced in April. John Textor took similar steps to help Crystal Palace's prospects of playing in the Europa League by agreeing to sell his stake to New York Jets owner Johnson in June. Ultimately, there were no sanctions to avoid and no case to answer for Forest - they fell short in their Champions League challenge and are therefore not in the same competition as Olympiakos.

Lachlan Turner sweeps Ironman, continues to dominate Women's Pro Motocross
Lachlan Turner led every lap of the Ironman Nationals' two motos in Crawfordsville, Indiana, and extended her points lead to 24 over Australia's Charli Cannon with two rounds remaining in the 2025 season. 'It's super-sick to show my results finally,' Turner said in the post-race news conference, which begins at about the 15-minute mark of the recorded session. 'I keep putting in the work, the last two months, and it's been paying off especially. Everyone can see it now.' Turner had not been idle during the interim. She swept the three motos of the Loretta Lynn's Amateur National last week for her first divisional title in that prestigious event. The Ironman National was a return to action after a lengthy hiatus from Round 3 of the Pro Motocross season at Thunder Valley in Lakewood, Colorado. That race held significance because the weather on Friday, combined with a desire to prevent the track from being destroyed, prompted the WMX program to be moved to Saturday, which allowed it to be streamed on The ladies produced some of the best racing of the weekend, so television and series executives decided to shake the schedule up in Indiana. The Friday / Saturday format will also be used for the series finale at Budds Creek. The WMX raced Moto 1 on Friday, and the second race came during halftime between the first and second motos of the men's program on Saturday. Even though Turner dominated, the action continued to be intense as Cannon and Mikayla Nielsen kept Turner in sight, preventing her from running away with the points. With four motos remaining in the 2025 WMX Championship, Turner has less than a one-race's worth of points over second-place Cannon, with Nielsen only four points behind in third. Dan Beaver, As for the racing action, Turner jumped to an early lead in Moto 1 with lap times consistently two or more seconds greater than the field in the first six laps of the race. She moderated her pace in the final two laps as Cannon surged, but the die was already cast. Cannon's second-place finish was all the more impressive because she finished Moto 2 with a flat tire that developed early in the race. Cannon did not get a good start in Moto 1, which denied the opportunity to pressure Turner early. She completed Lap 1 in fourth, moved into third for three laps, and then passed Nielsen for second on Lap 5. 'I can't take it away from La-La (Lachlan),' Cannon said. 'She's been riding awesome recently and it really shows. I have a lot more work to do. I feel like mid-year, I struggled with not a lot of bike time and falling into bad habits. So, I need to regroup.' Cannon was also busy during the off-weeks, winning her fourth Australian Women's Motocross title. Nielsen hovered around the top three throughout Moto 1, passing Kyleigh Stallings for second on Lap 2 before being passed by Cannon on Lap 5. Nielsen was destined for the podium until a last-lap mistake in Moto 2 dropped her from third to sixth. Stallings took advantage of Nielsen's last lap trouble to move into third in Moto 2. Coupled with a fourth-place result in Moto 1, she secured the final overall podium position. 'I've struggled this whole season to get my aggression back,' Stallings said. 'I tried to stay close to them, and I was pretty close, so I could capitalize on the mistake that Nielsen made. It was good. I'm really happy about that, but I definitely need to work on my aggression at the beginning of the moto.' Jordan Jarvis finished fourth with results of fifth and fourth in the two motos, and Nielsen dropped to fifth overall with her 3-6.
