Crystal Palace faced demotion from the Europa League to the Conference League by Uefa due to a breach of multi-club ownership rules, as previous owner John Textor held stakes in both Palace and Lyon. An appeal against this demotion has been submitted to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, with a scheduled hearing on 8 August. If the punishment is upheld, Nottingham Forest will replace Palace in the Europa League. Meanwhile, Palace will compete in the Conference League play-off against the winner of the match between Fredrikstad and Midtjylland.
