🚨 BREAKING: Crystal Palace lose Europa League appeal
Despite winning the FA Cup and securing qualification on merit, the club's participation was stripped after UEFA ruled they breached multi-club ownership rules.
John Textor's failure to divest his shares in Palace and Lyon before the 1 March deadline meant Palace were demoted to the Europa Conference League, with Nottingham Forest instead taking their Europa League spot.
CAS upheld UEFA's decision on Monday, ruling that the demotion must stand.
The verdict delivers a significant financial blow - losses could reach up to £20 million - and leaves Palace potentially contemplating further legal avenues.
Oliver Glasner's side will now play either Fredrikstad or FC Midtjylland in a two-legged play-off to reach the Conference League proper.

Former Washington Capitals center Nicklas Backstrom may not have played for the last two seasons, but he hasn't missed a beat. Starting anew with his hometown team, Brynäs IF, in the SHL, Backstrom is looking a lot like his usual, vintage self and put on a show in a preseason game against Timrå IK. The 37-year-old recorded two assists in a 4-1 win, including this highlight-reel saucer pass to former Anaheim Ducks winger Jakob Silfverberg on a power play. Backstrom signed a contract with Brynäs earlier this summer, marking his return to professional hockey after missing his final two seasons with the Capitals due to ongoing complications following hip resurfacing surgery. "Right now, my body feels great. I've been on the ice all summer. I feel ready to take on that task," Backstrom said of returning, adding, "It's hard to say, but I myself feel that I'm hopefully a good hockey player and can contribute as much as possible." Nicklas Backstrom Reflects On His Health, Journey & Return To The Ice With Brynäs: 'I Feel Energized... Body Feels Great' After missing the last two seasons with the Washington Capitals, Nicklas Backstrom is making his long-awaited return to the ice in fitting fashion with his hometown team, Brynäs IF.
