Oxford United is a football club on the rise, currently competing in the highly competitive English Football League Championship. Based in the historic city of Oxford, the U's play their home matches at the Kassam Stadium. Founded in 1893 as Headington United, the club adopted its current name in 1960. Oxford's golden era arrived in the 1980s under the legendary management of Jim Smith, achieving a remarkable rise from the Third Division to the top flight. The pinnacle was winning the League Cup in 1986, a major trophy victory that remains the club's greatest achievement. After years of fluctuation, including a spell in the Conference, the club has rebuilt impressively. Under head coach Des Buckingham, they secured promotion from League One and now look to consolidate their Championship status with a squad blending youth and experience, including key players like Cameron Brannagan and Mark Harris. The club enjoys strong support from the Yellow Army, creating a vibrant atmosphere at the Kassam as they aim to establish themselves in the second tier.
