Sky: Crystal Palace is still waiting for the European Cup, UEFA will announce results next week

According to Sky Sports News chief reporter Kaveh Solhekol, Crystal Palace is waiting to confirm whether they can participate in next season's UEFA Cup, and the final result will be announced next week.

Although Crystal Palace has qualified for the European tournament for the first time by winning the FA Cup, UEFA must decide whether they violated the multi-club ownership rules.

New York Jets owner Woody Johnson previously signed a "legally binding contract" to acquire 43% of John Tector's shares in Crystal Palace for about £190 million.

Due to Tector's participation in the club, Crystal Palace is at risk of losing its qualification to participate in the European competition. UEFA has been considering whether Crystal Palace violated the multi-club ownership rule, which prohibits linked clubs from competing in the same European event.

Tector also holds shares in the French club Lyon, and Lyon has also qualified for the UEFA Cup. Despite Tector's stake in Crystal Palace, the club insists that he does not have substantial control over the club. However, Lyon was relegated to Ligue 2 due to poor financial conditions, which could make French teams completely unable to compete in European competitions.
