Drogheda United has faced an unfortunate turn of events with their appeal against exclusion from the 2025-26 UEFA Conference League being denied by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). The Irish club was expelled under a rule prohibiting dual ownership of clubs in the same competition. Given that US-based Trivela Group controls both Drogheda and Silkeborg, the lower-ranked Drogheda was left out despite their prior success in the FAI Cup. In their statement, Drogheda expressed deep disappointment and disbelief, emphasizing their expectation for fairness in the ruling process.
Drogheda United's appeal against their dismissal from the 2025-26 Uefa Conference League has been rejected, following the rules of club ownership under UEFA regulations.
Drogheda expressed their 'great heartbreak and disbelief' at CAS' decision, emphasizing their belief in fairness and common sense.
