A new player has entered the Bitcoin (BTC) payments market in the United Kingdom. When the new season begins on August 6, Oxford City Football Club hopes to make history by becoming the first National League team to accept Bitcoin for matchday payments. At Oxford City's RAW Charging Stadium, patrons can pay for tickets, food, and beverages with Bitcoin over the Lightning Network. Traditional payment methods such as cash and credit cards remain available.

The National League South is the sixth division of English football, where Oxford City Football Club currently competes. The club and CoinCorner, an Isle of Man-based Bitcoin business, have a multi-year collaboration. CoinCorner will be a back-of-shirt sponsor for the club. They released a limited edition Oxford City FC Bolt Card to mark the occasion. Locally known as The Hoops, they will display a BTC emblem on the back of their matchday shirts as part of their affiliation with CoinCorner. 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 cryptocurrency, 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.
