For Matchday Tickets, Oxford City Football Club Will Now Accept Bitcoin

Recently, a new participant was added to the United Kingdom Bitcoin (BTC) payments market. When the new season begins on August 6, Oxford City Football Club hopes to become the first National League team to accept payments made on game days in Bitcoin.

At Oxford City’s RAW Charging Stadium, patrons will be able to pay with Bitcoin via the Lightning Network for tickets, refreshments, and food. Cash and credit cards are still acceptable forms of payment.

The National League South is the sixth division of English football, where Oxford City Football Club (OCFC) now competes. The club and CoinCorner, an Isle of Man-based Bitcoin business, have a multi-year collaboration. CoinCorner announced a limited-edition Oxford City FC Bolt Card to commemorate their sponsorship on the team’s back of the shirt.

As part of their affiliation with CoinCorner, The Hoops, as they are called locally, will wear a BTC emblem on the back of their matchday shirts. The debut encounter of Oxford City FC (OCFC) on August 6 will also include CoinCorner as the official match sponsor.

Real Bedford, a football team that supports crypto, will start taking bitcoin payments for matchday tickets on the same day. The Spartan South Midlands Competition, a lower-level local league, is where the Bedford team competes.

OCFC is the “first adopter of Bitcoin payments in the National League,” according to CoinCorner CEO Danny Scott. Scott commented:

“We believe this move will set a trend across Non-league and Football League divisions as digital currency establishes itself as the new normal for sports fans and event-goers across the U.K.”
