"Crystal Palace" will represent the country in the Europa League as the holder of the FA Cup. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Recently, the London club announced a change in its joint ownership and resolved the emerging issue. The matter was that Jon Textor simultaneously owned "Crystal Palace" — his company held 43 percent of the shares, and he also managed the controlling stake in the "Lyon" football club. Currently, Textor is no longer a joint owner of "Crystal Palace," and the financial control authority of the European football association must grant permission for the "Eagles" to participate in the Europa League.
This decision was expected on Friday, but it has now been delayed at least until Monday. This was reported by the Evening Standard.
This situation could affect the club's chances of qualifying for future competitions. Therefore, negotiations between the club and UEFA are being closely monitored.
Participation in the Europa League is of significant importance for the club, so financial and legal matters need to be resolved.
