It is with immense sadness that we announce the passing of 15-year-old Academy player, Amelia Aplin.
Amelia collapsed during a Girls’ Academy game against Fulham at the Club’s Training Centre in Horspath yesterday afternoon.
The thoughts and sincere condolences from everyone at Oxford United are with Amelia’s family, friends, teammates and coaches.
We would like to place on record our appreciation for the efforts of the medical staff at both Oxford United and Fulham Football Club, along with the emergency services.
The Club will offer support to Amelia’s family, players, coaches and staff impacted by this tragic event.
We would ask that the family’s privacy is respected at this incredibly difficult time.
We'll pay tribute to Joey Beauchamp during the @EmiratesFACup Fourth Round home tie against Sunderland this Sunday, as we mark four years since his passing 💛
On the 11th minute, supporters will be invited to join a minute’s applause in his honour.

Tomorrow marks the biggest game of our season so far. As a group and as a fan base we have failed to meet the standards of atmosphere at home this season, that this great club and fan base has previously set.
Towards the end of last season in those pivotal final games, we showed just what we can do as a fan base and the effect it has on players, despite the obvious issues with the stadium.
Tomorrow we ask you fans to help us generate the atmosphere that got us over the line last season.
