How Palace are fighting to keep European dream alive

Related Topics: John Textor

Crystal Palace are anxiously waiting to hear whether their European dream is over before it even begins.

Winning the FA Cup - the Eagles' first major trophy triumph - resulted in the south London club qualifying for the Europa League, the club's only qualification into continental football in their 164-year history.

However, whether Palace can start planning for European football is in the hands of governing body Uefa, who must decide whether the Eagles have breached its rules on teams under one multi-club ownership structure competing in the same European competition.

Uefa's final ruling will centre on American businessman John Textor, owner of Eagle Football - which holds a 43% stake in Palace.
