Crystal Palace have been unsuccessful in their appeal against being demoted from the Europa League and will play in the Conference League this season.
The ruling from the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) also means Nottingham Forest’s spot in the Europa League is confirmed, having been promoted in Palace’s place.
The Eagles qualified for the Europa League after winning the FA Cup last season but were punished by UEFA for breaching multi-club ownership rules.
American businessman John Textor owns a stake in the club and is the majority owner of Lyon, which have also qualified for the Europa League.
In July, Palace submitted an appeal to CAS against UEFA, which issued the punishment, as well as Lyon and Nottingham Forest.
