Why Forest Set to Take Palace’s Europa League Place

Crystal Palace have been demoted to the UEFA Conference League by UEFA due to breaches of the multi‑club ownership rule, after Eagle Football’s owner John Textor—who also co‑owns Lyon—failed to resolve the conflict by the March 1 deadline. Consequently, Nottingham Forest, who finished 7th in the Premier League, are set to inherit Palace’s Europa League spot for 2025–26. Reason Behind Palace's Demotion UEFA regulation 4.10 prohibits two clubs with significant shared ownership from competing in the same European tournament.

The Successor: Nottingham Forest According to UEFA rules, the vacated Europa League spot goes to the next-highest Premier […]
