Oxford United

Oxford United

Oxford United Football Club was founded in 1893 as Headington United, later adopting its current name in 1960. Based in Oxford, England, the club plays its home matches at the Kassam Stadium and competes in the English Championship. Known as 'The U's', Oxford experienced their most successful period in the 1980s under Robert Maxwell's ownership, winning the Football League Third Division and Fourth Division titles before memorably clinching the Football League Cup in 1986. The club has a strong identity tied to the university city and surrounding community. In recent years, Oxford have made a strong resurgence through smart management and recruitment, returning to the Championship in 2024.
