Crystal Palace have confirmed that new signing Christantus Uche has been included in their squad for the 2025/26 UEFA Conference League campaign.

Uche completed a deadline-day move from La Liga side Getafe to Selhurst Park and has been handed the No. 12 jersey.

The 22-year-old Nigerian attacking midfielder has been listed on List A, which accommodates 25 players for the competition.

Palace will begin their European journey against Ukrainian giants Dynamo Kyiv on Thursday, October 2, a fixture that could mark Uche’s debut in continental football.

Meanwhile, Uche is currently away on international duty with the Nigeria’s senior men’s national team, as Super Eagles continue their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign.
