Oxford City Football Club looks to become the first National League football club to accept matchday payments in BTC when the season kicks off.

Fans will be able to purchase tickets, food and drink at Oxford City’s RAW Charging Stadium with Bitcoin over the Lightning Network. Legacy payment methods such as cash and card are still accepted.

Oxford City Football Club currently plays in the sixth tier of English football, the National League South. The club struck a multi-year partnership with CoinCorner, an Isle of Man-based Bitcoin company. CoinCorner will be a back-of-shirt sponsor for the club and released a limited edition Oxford City FC Bolt Card to mark the occasion.

The Hoops, as they are known locally, will sport a BTC logo on the back of the matchday shirts as part of the partnership between CoinCorner and the team. CoinCorner is also the official match sponsor for Oxford City FC’s opening game.

On the same day, Peter McCormack’s pro-Bitcoin football club, Real Bedford, will accept Bitcoin for matchday tickets. However, the Bedford team plays in a lower, local league, the Spartan South Midlands League. CoinCorner CEO Danny Scott explained that OCFC is the “first adopter of Bitcoin payments in the National League.
