The Eagles automatically qualified for the Europa League by winning the FA Cup in May – the club’s first major trophy in 118 years – beating Manchester City 1-0 at Wembley.
American billionaire John Textor’s Eagles Holding Limited had significant stakes in both Palace and Lyon, who also qualified for the Europa League after finishing 6th in Ligue 1.
Textor sold his 43 per cent stake in Palace to New York Jets and Johnson & Johnson pharmaceutical heir Woody Johnson last month, as Palace sought to prove their innocence.
A Lyon statement read: “Olympique Lyonnais welcomes today’s decision from the DNCG which restores our position in Ligue 1 and is grateful that the appeal commission recognises the ambition of the Club’s new management to ensure a professionalised administration of its affairs going forward.
“Today’s decision is the first step in restoring confidence in Olympique Lyonnais and we now return our focus to creating success on the pitch, ready for next season.”
