Crystal Palace have lodged an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) against their demotion to the Conference League.

#CPFC are requesting readmission to the Europa League with Nottingham Forest’s admission rejected.

#NFFC had replaced Palace in the competition by virtue of being the Premier League club with the highest finishing position not already qualified.

Failing that, Palace are requesting to be admitted in place of Lyon, who earned priority over their English counterparts due to their superior league placing — sixth in Ligue 1, compared to Palace’s 12th-place Premier League finish.
