​Our History

 Oxford City Futsal was founded by Enrique Guillen and Chris Chesterman in June 2011 to promote Futsal in Oxfordshire.

At first the team was known as Passalona Futsal, and won the inaugural Oxfordshire Futsal League. The team quickly gained in reputation by reaching the FA Cup Finals in 2011, becoming quarter-finalists with less than two months' preparation. As a result of this, we were invited to join the National Futsal League Midlands Division. In our first year we became champions of this league, beating the record of goals scored in one season and reaching the grand finals. In the same year we also won the Community Shield and Mitoo Futsal Cup.

In summer 2012 we joined with Oxford City Football Club to form their Futsal division.

Since then the first team has again won the Midlands League (2012/13 and 2013/14) and was asked to join the highest National League, which we won in 2016/17, also winning the FA Cup in that year. 

We currently play in the the National Futsal League Premiership.
