UEFA removed Crystal Palace from the UEFA Europa League due to the multi-club ownership rule and sent them to the UEFA Conference League, replacing them with Nottingham Forest in the UEFA Europa League.
Bad news has come for Crystal Palace, one of the English Premier League teams that has qualified for the UEFA Europa League for the first time in its history.
DISQUALIFIED FROM THE UEFA EUROPA LEAGUE
Crystal Palace will not be able to participate in the UEFA Europa League due to UEFA's multi-club ownership rules. Crystal Palace, which earned the right to participate in the Europa League as the FA Cup champion, has been prohibited from competing in the same tournament as the French representative Lyon, which is associated with American businessman John Textor.
NOTTINGHAM FOREST INCLUDED
In this regard, UEFA canceled Crystal Palace's participation in the Europa League due to a rule violation and included Nottingham Forest from the Premier League in the tournament instead. Crystal Palace will participate in the UEFA Europa Conference League in the 2024-25 season. According to UEFA rules, two clubs owned by the same person cannot participate in the same European competition.
