Arsenal release squad list for Champions league

Arsenal have submitted our List A squad for our upcoming UEFA Champions League league phase matches.As per UEFA regulations, List A is made up of a maximum of 25 players, two of whom must be goalkeepers.

As a minimum, eight of those 25 places are reserved exclusively for ‘locally trained players’ and no club may have more than four ‘association-trained players’ listed among those eight places.

A locally-trained player is classified as:

Club-trained players who were on a club’s books for three entire seasons or 36 months between the ages of 15 and 21

Association-trained players who were on another club’s books in the same association for three entire seasons or 36 months between the ages of 15 and 21If a club has fewer than eight locally trained players in their squad, then the maximum number of players on List A is reduced accordingly.

Changes to List A can only be made before the round of 16 in February 2026, when clubs can register a maximum of three new players, such as new signings or previously injured players, but the overall limit of 25 players and eight locally trained players remains.
