Hmm - another club has been kicked out due to multi-ownership rules. This makes me think we'll definitely appeal if Palace are allowed to keep their place, regardless of what happens with Lyon.
In the meantime, it has been confirmed Slovakian club DAC 1904 Dunajska Streda have been expelled from the Conference League. They join League of Ireland side Drogheda United in being booted out of Europe due to falling foul of the same multi-club ownership rules Palace are at risk of breaching.
Dunajska Streda have the same owner as Hungarian team Gyori ETO. Drogheda are owned by Trivela Group, which also has a majority interest in Danish qualifiers Silkeborg. Drogheda had appealed against their expulsion from the Conference League, but the Court of Arbitration for Sport upheld the original decision.
A statement from UEFA said: “Following the assessment of the documentation submitted by the clubs, the CFCB First Chamber concluded that Gyori ETO FC and FC DAC 1904 Dunajska Streda breached, at the relevant assessment date (1 March 2025), the multi-club ownership rule foreseen in Art 5.01 of the UEFA club competition regulations.
