Crystal Palace has lost their appeal against being demoted from the Europa League to the Conference League due to breaches in multi-club ownership regulations. The Court of Arbitration for Sport confirmed that UEFA's punishment was upheld, as John Textor, who held shares in both Crystal Palace and Lyon, was found to have had decisive board influence at the time of UEFA's assessment. Despite arguments of unfair treatment, the appeal was dismissed, concluding that UEFA's regulations were applied uniformly and clearly against non-compliant clubs.
