Drogheda United have confirmed that they will not be allowed to compete in the UEFA Conference League due to ownership rules and are now taking the case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

United, owned by the Trivela Group, qualified for the competition by winning last year's FAI Cup.

However, Danish side Silkeborg, also under the Trivela umbrella, secured a place in the Conference League through their league position.

Under UEFA rules, two sides from the same owner cannot enter the same European competition.

Soccer Journalist Barry Landy spoke to us this morning on The Agenda this morning about this.
