Palace seek to reclaim their spot in Europe&#8217;s second-tier competition at the expense of Forest or, failing that, to take precedence over Lyon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Court of Arbitration for Sport confirmed on Tuesday the receipt of Crystal Palace&#8217;s appeal against UEFA, Nottingham Forest and Olympique Lyonnais, following the club&#8217;s demotion to the Conference League for violating UEFA&#8217;s multi-ownership regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The issue dates back to 11 July, when UEFA&#8217;s Club Financial Control Body approved Lyon&#8217;s registration for the upcoming Europa League season, having secured their place in Ligue 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Palace, however, were relegated to the Conference League as UEFA deemed that the clubs involved failed to meet multi-club ownership criteria set out in the UEFA Club Competition Regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The decision was based on the league positions of the clubs in their respective domestic competitions, with Lyon finishing sixth in Ligue 1 and thus taking precedence over Palace, who were FA Cup winners but finished twelfth in the Premier League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Palace have now exercised their right to appeal to the CAS, seeking to overturn the CFCB&#8217;s ruling concerning the multi-ownership criteria. They request reinstatement to the Europa League at Nottingham Forest&#8217;s expense, and subsidiarily, to be admitted ahead of Olympique Lyonnais.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of June, American businessman John Textor sold his 43% stake in Crystal Palace to New York Jets owner Woody Johnson for \u00a3190 million (\u20ac222 million), enabling the English club to compete in the Europa League next season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Around the same time, South Korean-American entrepreneur Michele Kang was appointed president of Olympique Lyonnais, succeeding Textor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to CAS, the appeal will be reviewed and a verdict issued within a few weeks, with the final deadline for the decision set for 11 August.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crystal Palace have filed an appeal with the Court of A [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1353,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1352","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1352","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1352"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1352\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1354,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1352\/revisions\/1354"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1353"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1352"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1352"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dxtynews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1352"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
