Crystal Palace have been demoted from the Europa League to the Conference League next season, Uefa have ruled.
The decision stems from Palace breaching multi-club ownership rules as American businessman John Textor owns a stake in the Eagles and is the majority owner of French club Lyon, who have also qualified for the Europa League.
Nottingham Forest, who finished seventh in the Premier League last season, could replace FA Cup winners Palace in the Europa League.
Uefa said the Eagles could appeal its ruling with the Court of Arbitration for Sport and Palace are set to do so.
The rules of European football's governing body state that clubs owned, to a certain threshold of influence, by the same person or entity cannot compete in the same European competition.
Uefa's rules set a deadline of 1 March 2025 to show proof of multi-club ownership restructuring - a deadline which Palace missed.
Palace argued Textor does not hold any decisive influence at the club, but Uefa have not accepted the Premier League side's defence.
