Oxford United is a football club with a growing reputation, currently competing in the EFL Championship, the second tier of English football. Based at the Kassam Stadium in Oxford, the club's colors are yellow and blue. Founded in 1893 as Headington United, the club adopted its current name in 1960. Oxford's golden era came in the mid-1980s under the management of Jim Smith, achieving promotion to the top flight and famously winning the League Cup in 1986, beating Queens Park Rangers at Wembley. After a dramatic fall down the leagues in the subsequent decades, the modern era has seen a remarkable revival. Under Karl Robinson and later Liam Manning, the U's secured promotion from League One and have now established themselves as a competitive Championship side, playing an attractive, possession-based style. The current squad features exciting talents and experienced heads. The fan base, known for their passionate support, has been rewarded with this return to higher-level football. Oxford United is a club on an upward trajectory, looking to create new history.
