The Kassam Stadium (also known as the United Stadium) is the home of Oxford United FC, and is named after the ground's owner and the football club's former chairman, Firoz Kassam. The ground currently has a capacity of 12,500, and consists of three stands.

The building of the Kassam Stadium commenced in the summer of 1996 by Taylor Woodrow, but construction ceased in December after financial problems meant the contractors weren't paid. At this time United's chairman was Robin Herd, and the club's Chief Executive was Keith Cox. Ongoing money problems meant that no further work was done on the site until February 2001. This followed Kassam's purchase of the club in April 1999, and then many legal problems involving Oxford City Council, Nick Pentith, Thames Water, Morrells of Oxford, and local landowner Les Wells. By this time the contractors had changed to Birse Construction, with Taylor Woodrow having had their debt settled by a Company Voluntary Agreement (CVA), by which Firoz Kassam reduced most of the football club's unsecured debt by 90 per cent.

Berry Industries & M&S Constructions partnered agreement with Birse Stadia meant that a number of construction services and build programmes were carried out at the site for a period of 8 months.

These services included;

• Concrete works
• Drainage Works
• Ground Works
• Completion of Car Parks
• Extensive Labour Supply
• Kerbs & Paving Works
