UEFA has reportedly decided what club will replace Crystal Palace in the 2025/26 Europa League after it emerged that the organisation ‘rejected’ offers from Eagles co-owners to put shares in a blind trust.

Crystal Palace's Europa League qualification hangs in the balance after UEFA rejected proposals from shareholders John Textor and David Blitzer to place their shares in blind trusts. The FA Cup winners face potential exclusion from European competition due to multi-club ownership regulations.

The club’s participation in the tournament is in jeopardy due to the governing body’s rules on multi-club ownership.
