A percentage of our takings on Sunday will be donated to the Play For Pearl campaign.



Oxford City FC will be supporting our Women’s First Team player Xiomara Wellington-Faissal and her family and we are appealing for the whole football community in Oxford to join us in helping them at a difficult time.

On Sunday, our Women's First Team take on Wimbourne Town in the Chairman's Cup Quarter Final at the MGroup Stadium, and we'll be supporting Xiomara and her family's Play For Pearl campaign.

A percentage of all of the profits the club make on the matchday via the food hatch & bar will be donated to the Play For Pearl campaign.

There will also be activation stations at the ground for supporters to get involved with and help us raise as much money as possible.

We've made tickets for Sunday's game FREE, so we want as many people coming to support the girls and this cause for one of our own.

Kick-off is at 2pm and we'll also be showing all of the day's crunch clashes around the Premier League (and Carabao Cup Final) in the bar.

What is Play For Pearl?

Pearl (Xiomara's mother) has recently been diagnosed with incurable cancer and as she prepares to start treatment and step away from work, friends and family are stepping up to help.

On the the 12th/13th April they are hoping that the Oxford football community will come together for a special event in support of Pearl and her three daughters—Blue, Xio, and their sister Ney.

That day will see a 24-Hour Football Match: Play for Pearl, held at the Oxford Academy from 2pm to 2pm.

Anyone can get involved whether you’re part of a team, a group of friends, an individual, or just love the game. All ages and abilities are welcome. You can also come along and support from the sidelines. There will be refreshments, activities, and a fantastic community atmosphere If you would like to sign up to help then email playforpearl@hotmail.com

Can’t make it? You can still contribute to the GoFundMe page

Funds raised will help with:
* Essential living costs while Pearl undergoes treatment
* Trust funds for the girls’ futures
* Funeral expenses to ensure Pearl receives the farewell she deserves
* Ongoing care for Pearl’s eldest daughter, who will require 24-hour support without Pearl
* Keeping Xiomara and Blue involved in the football they love

If you know Pearl or the girls we ask you to give them privacy at this time and support them instead through the event and the GoFundMe page

Pearl has always been there on the sidelines, cheering on her girls and supporting our footballing community. Now it’s our turn to show up for her and her daughters…
