In addition to Olympique Lyonnais, John Textor will make Crystal Palace supporters crazy. As was expected, Crystal Palace was banished from the Europa League and relegated to Conference League after UEFA concluded that the recent winners of the FA CUP broke the rules of multiproprust. The ban was formalized after OL won its appeal against relegation in Ligue 2, thus authorizing them to also participate in the C3 in place of the Eagles. A new blunder for John Textor, who had nevertheless concluded an agreement to sell his Crystal Palace shares, but the operation was not finalized and was deemed too late by UEFA.
“On July 9, 2025, the DNCG appeal body decided not to relegate Olympique Lyonnais in Ligue 2.. Consequently, and after assessment by the ICFC of all the other relevant conditions included in the transactional agreement, Olympique Lyonnais will not be excluded from the UEFA Interclub competitions 2025/26 (see press release of June 30, 2025). Consequently, the first ICFC chamber continued to assess the documentation submitted by Olympique Lyonnais and Crystal Palace and concluded that the clubs had violated, on March 1, 2025, the multi -club ownership criteria provided for in article 5.01 of the regulation of interclubs of UEFA interclubs “noted The European body press release.
