A hearing with a closed door in the case of Crystal Palace vs UEFA, Nottingham Forest and Olympique Lyonnais will be held on August 8, confirmed De Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on Wednesday.
Palace was relegated to the Third-Tier Conference League by UEFA’s Club Financial Control Body in a multi-club ownership shop, while Olympique Lyonnais is allowed to play in the Europa League.
The Eagle Football Group are majority owners of Lyon, while the chairman John Textor also has a controlling interest in Palace. Textor later resigned from Lyon’s board of directors with Michele Kang appointed chairman and president.

The London club appealed against the decision, whereby the CAS now confirmed that it will hear the case next month.
Nottingham Forest, which finished seventh in the Premier League, will replace Palace in the Europa League if the profession fails.
Palace had qualified for the Europa League by winning the FA Cup last season, while Lyon reached the competition by finishing sixth in Ligue 1. However, the French club was allowed to keep its place because it ended higher in his respective competition.
No statement is expected on the day, but a decision is expected on 11 August.
