Crystal Palace have been demoted from the Europa League and will now play in the Conference League next season after a UEFA ruling.
Sky Sports News understands Palace will appeal this decision via the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
As FA Cup winners, the Eagles won a spot in the Europa League for the 2025/26 campaign. However, that was brought into question with French club Lyon finishing sixth in Ligue 1 and earning their own Europa League spot.
John Textor owned shares in both clubs and under UEFA's multi-club ownership rules, clubs with the same ownership group cannot play in the same competition.
Textor - who Palace argue did not have overall control of the club - sold his 43 per cent stake in Crystal Palace to New York Jets owner Woody Johnson.
He then resigned from his leadership roles at Lyon when they were relegated to Ligue 2 after failing to convince authorities they have resolved their financial difficulties.
Although these actions did not come before UEFA's March 1 deadline, this appeared to pave the way for Palace's Europa League participation.
However, there was further uncertainty on Wednesday when Lyon won their appeal against their relegation and were reinstated to Ligue 1 - meaning they are able to take up their Europa League spot.
On Friday, it was confirmed by UEFA that Palace will move down a competition.
