Crystal Palace and UEFA will hold discussions this week over issue around multiclub ownership with FA Cup winners facing potential ban if they cannot meet criteria.

Crystal Palace will meet UEFA big wigs in Switzerland on Tuesday to discuss concerns over whether the club can compete in next season's Europa League.

American John Textor owns around 43 per cent of the FA Cup winners and is the majority shareholder at Lyon, who have qualified for the same.

But UEFA rules state that clubs with the same owners are not permitted to participate in the same competition.

Palace are confident that they will be cleared to compete after stating their case in Nyon. But recent precedent suggests that they must prove no resources or personnel are shared between the clubs.

In the season just passed both Manchester United and Nice, and Manchester City and Girona had to ensure "significant changes" were made for all four to be permitted entry to the Europa League and Champions League.

That included appointing an independent trustee, supervised by UEFA's Club Financial Control Body, which had "the effective control and decision-making of" Nice and Girona.

Directors were also forced to resign from the clubs boards while the clubs were banned from transferring players to each other or share commercial agreements or scouting databases.

Rules state that if Palace are unable to meet UEFA's demands, then the club would drop down to the Conference League.
