European football’s governing body, UEFA, contacted the London club confirming they had been barred from entering next season’s Europa League. They had, as the subsequent public statement stated, “breached, as at 1 March 2025, the multi-club ownership criteria foreseen in Article 5.01 of the UEFA Club Competition Regulations”.

Crystal Palace say they "are extremely dismayed by Uefa's decision to exclude the club from the Europa League."
