The club is supporting the EFL’s Together Against Racism campaign, urging fans to report any instances of discrimination they witness.

The club said in a statement: “At Oxford United, we believe that football is a game for everyone, everywhere, and we are proud of the welcoming atmosphere that you create every matchday.

“However, every season there are hundreds of reports of discrimination across the game, and likely more that go unrecorded.

“Whether you’re a player, manager, watching in the stands or at home – your voice matters.

“Our voices are a powerful tool for change – when we speak up, come together and use our voices we can drive change.”

The club vowed to take “swift and firm action” against anyone identified as engaging in racist or discriminatory behaviour.

It also paid tribute to the founder of anti-discrimination charity Kick It Out, Lord Ouseley, who passed away earlier this month.

The club said: “He dedicated his life to fighting racism and promoting diversity and significant strides have been made in tackling discrimination, thanks to his work.”

The EFL also called for a “zero-tolerance approach” to tackling racism in football.

Anyone who witness racist or discriminatory abuse can report it directly to their club through Kick It Out, Oxford United’s reporting mechanisms, or by alerting a steward.
