Crystal Palace will not participate in the Europa League next season after UEFA ruled that the club violated ownership regulations. Nottingham Forest is slated to take their place in the competition. The decision comes after scrutiny over potential conflicts of interest related to the club's ownership structure. This is a significant blow to Crystal Palace, who had qualified for the Europa League based on their league performance. Nottingham Forest, who finished lower in the league table, now have an unexpected opportunity to compete on the European stage.
