Nigerian forward, Chrisantus Uche has been voted winner of the UEFA Europa Conference League Fans’ Goal of the Season award for the 2025/26 campaign.
Uche earned the honour after his spectacular long-range strike for Crystal Palace against Finnish side, KuPS Kuopio received the highest number of votes from supporters across Europe.
The goal came in the fifth minute of Crystal Palace’s 2-2 draw with KuPS Kuopio in December 2025 at Selhurst Park, with the Nigerian curling a brilliant effort from outside the penalty area into the net.
The 23-year-old beat four other shortlisted contenders to claim the award, further highlighting his impressive impact during the European campaign.
Uche scored two goals in four appearances for Crystal Palace in the UEFA Europa Conference League, despite spending the season on loan from Spanish club Getafe CF.
Beyond his European exploits, the versatile attacker also featured in 14 league matches for the London club during the 2025/26 season.
