Crystal Palace’s Stunning Comeback: Can They Rise from Conference League Ashes to Glory?
The appeal, if successful, would result in either Lyon or Nottingham Forest being ejected from the competition. Palace argue that their late ownership restructuring should not have cost them a place in the Europa League, especially given the circumstances surrounding Forest and Lyon. The club insists they remain compliant with the spirit, if not the rigid technicalities, of UEFA’s rules.
Ultimately, Palace’s appeal is not only a test of UEFA’s multi-club ownership enforcement—it’s also a statement about fairness, transparency, and how football’s regulatory frameworks deal with complex ownership webs. The ruling, due on August 11, could ripple far beyond South London, influencing future European eligibility rulings across the continent.
