Crystal Palace awaits a decision on their 2025-26 Europa League participation after discussions with Uefa regarding ownership conflicts involving Eagle Football. John Textor, who owns a stake in both Palace and Ligue 1's Lyon, must clarify his control over both clubs, as Uefa prohibits dual ownership in the same competition. Previously expected to receive a quick ruling, sources now indicate that clarity may not come until late June. The team's qualification stems from their FA Cup victory over Manchester City, despite finishing 12th in the Premier League.
Crystal Palace's participation in the 2025-26 Europa League is uncertain as Uefa reviews the implications of shared ownership with Eagle Football, complicating their qualification.
The situation revolves around whether John Textor has decisive control over more than one club, as Uefa rules prohibit this to maintain competition integrity.
