Crystal Palace faced demotion from the UEFA Europa League to the UEFA Europa Conference League due to a ruling related to multi-club ownership regulations. This decision sparked widespread protests from hundreds of Crystal Palace supporters, who gathered outside Selhurst Park and in the streets to express their dissatisfaction. Fans described the ruling as an injustice, especially following the club's recent historic FA Cup triumph, which they felt was overshadowed by the UEFA decision. Some supporters have indicated plans to escalate their demonstrations to UEFA's headquarters in Switzerland. The club's chairman, Steve Parish, has publicly criticized the ruling, prompting mixed reactions from football fans and commentators, with some urging the club to accept the decision and move forward. The protests highlight ongoing tensions regarding UEFA's enforcement of multi-club ownership rules and their impact on club competitions.
