🔴 Crystal Palace were set to embark on a Europa League campaign as FA Cup winners, but UEFA's multi-club ownership regulations intervened. One of the London club's shareholders, John Textor, also holds a stake in Lyon, and by the set deadline, the club failed to prove independent management. As a result, UEFA made a tough call: demoting Palace to the Conference League. The Londoners attempted to contest the sanction at CAS, but their appeal was dismissed. Now, the team, having earned European competition rights for the first time in years, will start their journey in the third-tier tournament.
🏆 Crystal Palace secured a spot in the Conference League but didn't gain direct entry into the group stage. The Londoners had to navigate through the final qualification round against Norway's Fredrikstad, where the "Eagles" emerged victorious on aggregate (1-0, 0-0).
🦅 Under Oliver Glasner's leadership, the club is showcasing impressive form this season. In their season opener, Palace defeated Liverpool to claim the English Super Cup and remain the only team in England unbeaten in the new football year, having played 10 matches across all competitions. This boosts their confidence ahead of their European debut and makes them one of the most formidable opponents for Dynamo.
