Why can't Oxford United stay at the Kassam Stadium?
Oxford United need to find a new home because their current agreement to play at the Kassam Stadium in Littlemore comes to an end in 2026. The club want to build a new 16,000 seat stadium on greenbelt land known as the Triangle which is close to the Kidlington roundabout and Oxford Parkway.
Oxford United has called the Kassam Stadium home since 2001, but as their lease inches towards expiration in 2026 and no hope of renewing, the club finds itself at a crossroads with the only alternative being to find a new home.
“I saw something that said the ball was in my court over the fourth stand. Well it is not,” Kassam said. “If the people in charge at Oxford United will not pay their bills on time, I will not allow them to build a fourth stand. “Why should I allow them to build on my property if they are not paying me what I am owed?
The Kassam Stadium (also known as Grenoble Road) is the home of Oxford United Football Club, and is named after the ground's owner and former chairman of the football club, Firoz Kassam.

Football has one of the most extensive college leagues and cuppers programs at Oxford. Most colleges have multiple mens and womens teams. There are a number of divisions in JCR, MCR and Women's football. The leauge rusn throughout Michaelmas and Hilary terms, with the cuppers competition running simultaniously.
St John's is the wealthiest college in Oxford, with assets worth over of £790 million as of 2022, largely due to nineteenth-century suburban development of land in the city of Oxford of which it is the ground landlord.
A private hospital now stands on the site the club - including back when it was called Headington United - played at for 76 years from 1925. But the Kassam Stadium infamously has just three stands. The planned fourth was abandoned to keep total costs down after they hit £15m. It has also been unpopular with fans.
The club has confirmed it must find a new home by the start of the 2026/27 season as its licence agreement at the Kassam Stadium expires in 2026. Oxfordshire County Council owns the land at the Triangle where OUFC want to build their new stadium.
Oxford United had to pay chairman Firoz Kassam's company Firoka (Oxford United Stadium) Ltd £385,224 last year to rent the Kassam Stadium, writes JON MURRAY. That works out at more than £7,000 a week. The figure is revealed in the latest set of club accounts and represents a £47,000 increase on the previous year.
The Kassam Stadium is the home ground of Oxford United FC and London Welsh Rugby Football Club. It is named after the stadium's owner, and former chairman of the football club, British businessman of Indian descent Firoz Kassam.
Why does the club need to move from its existing stadium? As our fans will know, our licence agreement at the Kassam Stadium ends in 2026, from which point Oxford United will have nowhere to play.
