💨 Abstract

The Court of Arbitration for Sport upheld UEFA's decision to demote Crystal Palace to the third-tier Conference League for violating club ownership rules. The English club, owned by American investor John Textor, also owns Lyon, which led to the demotion. Nottingham Forest and Lyon will enter the Europa League directly, while Palace must start in the Conference League qualifying playoffs. The ruling confirmed Textor's influential role in both clubs.
