Crystal Palace have had their Europa League ban upheld by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), ensuring that Nottingham Forest will take their place in the European competition while the Eagles drop down to the Conference League.
As FA Cup winners in May, Palace automatically qualified for the Europa League given their 12th-placed Premier League finish did not entitle them to any continental football. However, UEFA announced in July that the south London outfit would be unable to participate due to a perceived breach of multi-club ownership rules.
