Crystal Palace's historic FA Cup final win over Manchester City not only provided the club with its first major trophy but also a ticket to the 2025/26 Europa League. However, this qualification has been complicated by co-owner John Textor's ownership stake in both Palace and French club Lyon, who have also qualified. With Lyon appealing a relegation to Ligue 2, UEFA has postponed a decision on Crystal Palace's European participation, leaving fans in uncertainty as they wait for updates regarding the club's European future.
