Oxford United will come together ahead of Wednesday night’s fixture against Blackburn Rovers to pay our respects following the tragic passing of Amelia Aplin, who collapsed during a Girls’ Academy game on Saturday.
The Club can confirm a minute’s silence will be observed prior to kick-off, whilst players and coaching staff will wear black armbands during the match.
We kindly ask that all supporters take their seats early to ensure the tribute can be conducted with the quiet reflection it deserves.
Supporters are also invited to lay tributes outside the stadium before kick-off at the Ox statue in the South Stand car park.
The Club would like to thank our supporters, our visitors from Blackburn Rovers, and the wider football family for the overwhelming messages of sympathy, support, and solidarity received over recent days.
The thoughts of everyone at Oxford United remain with Amelia’s family, friends, and teammates.
