Glasner Confident in Crystal Palace’s Europa League Appeal
In a dramatic twist, Oliver Glasner has expressed his belief that Crystal Palace will successfully challenge their demotion by UEFA and secure their spot in the Europa League. The case is set to be heard by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) this Friday.
The club is currently fighting UEFA’s decision to drop them to the Conference League due to alleged breaches of multi-club ownership regulations. The appeal, taking place in Lausanne, is a crucial moment for Palace, with the outcome expected to be announced on Monday. This decision will come just a day after Palace’s FA Cup-winning squad takes on Premier League titans Liverpool in the Community Shield at Wembley.
Glasner’s optimism is palpable, as he believes the club has a strong case to present. The stakes are high, with Palace’s first Conference League match scheduled for August 21, should the appeal not go in their favor. However, Glasner remains steadfast in his confidence that the team will be reinstated to the Europa League, a competition that offers greater prestige and financial rewards.
The football community is watching closely, as the outcome could set a precedent for future cases involving multi-club ownership. For now, all eyes are on Lausanne, where the fate of Crystal Palace’s European campaign will be decided.
