Palace European fate at stake as Lyon hearing starts
Briefly

Crystal Palace's chance to participate in the next season's Europa League is linked to Lyon's appeal concerning their relegation from Ligue 1. Lyon was demoted due to financial issues but has appealed the decision. The ruling from French football authorities is crucial as if Lyon is relegated, they will not compete in the Europa League, allowing Palace to take their spot. The uncertainty stems from ownership rules, as Eagle Football Holdings, owning both clubs, may violate Uefa regulations regarding multi-club ownership. Uefa has delayed its ruling pending a decision on Lyon's status.
Crystal Palace's participation in next season's Europa League hinges on the outcome of Lyon's appeal against relegation from Ligue 1, which will be heard soon.
If Lyon's relegation is upheld, they will be excluded from the Europa League, potentially allowing Crystal Palace to claim their spot in the competition.
