Our Club | Oxford University Association Football Club
Founded in 1872, and playing its first game against Radley College on 10th February of that year, Oxford University Association Football Club is one of the University’s oldest and most prestigious clubs. Oxford played in the FA Cup from 1872-1880, reaching the final five times including in its first season and winning the trophy in 1874 with a 2-0 victory over the Royal Engineers at Kennington Oval.
The club boasts 4 mens teams and 3 womens teams, with the men’s 1s, 2s, and 3s and women’s 1s and 2s competing in BUCS. Our women’s 3s and men’s 4s operate as development squads — open to all levels of football experience and accommodating those wanting a more casual commitment schedule. The highlight of the year is the annual Varsity and Reserves Varsity matches where our teams face off against Cambridge’s teams.
