Crystal Palace is appealing UEFA's decision to demote them to the Conference League for breaching multiclub ownership rules. Coach Oliver Glasner expresses confidence in a successful appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport. The hearing takes place in Lausanne, with a decision expected on Monday. Palace asserts they can prove UEFA's deadline for compliance was 30 April, not 1 March, and that the recent sale of a stake has removed obstacles to their participation in the Europa League. Preparation for the appeal is ongoing, with a match against Liverpool approaching.
Oliver Glasner expressed confidence that Crystal Palace will win their appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport and be reinstated to play in the Europa League this week. The appeal aims to overturn Uefa's decision to demote the club to the Conference League for breaching multiclub ownership rules. He emphasized the team's focus on preparing for upcoming matches regardless of the external decisions, stating, 'We focus on what we have to do on the pitch, how to create this spirit in the group.'
Palace believes they have a strong chance of winning the appeal by arguing that the deadline imposed by Uefa for changing their ownership structure was miscommunicated. They claim it was not 1 March but rather 30 April, which they can substantiate with evidence. Additionally, the club noted that John Textor's departure has removed any barriers to their participation in the Europa League, further strengthening their case.
