Most Valuable Player (MVP) 2026 - Elijah Langford๐
As we wrap up our look back on a phenomenal season for Oklahoma United, itโs time to announce our final award winner. With that in mind, weโre delighted to reveal our Oklahoma United MVP for the 2026 season, Elijah Langford ๐
In a squad as talented and devoted to their game as our own, it takes a particularly special player to stand out. But lucky for Elijah Langford, he is that special player ๐ฅ
From the first minute of the season, Eli demonstrated his superb attacking prowess, elite tactical IQ and sheer finishing abilities. After netting a brace in our opening match against Dallas Dragons, he never looked back becoming the stuff of nightmares for every defensive line in the league ๐
Eli utilised explosive bursts of pace, great ball control and near-superhuman finishing throughout the campaign, eventually notching an outstanding 11 goals in 11 games ๐คฏ
In addition to his staggering skill on the pitch, Eli also demonstrated natural leadership, discipline and humility. His strong relationships with teammates off the pitch allowed for excellent link-up play on it, particularly with Matija Malenoviฤ, h_trblz9 and ๐๐ฉ๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐๐ ๐ค๐ก๐ค โป ๐ค
Eliโs influence on our season was unmistakable and weโd like congratulate him on this well-deserved MVP award. We wish him all the best in his upcoming college season with UConn Men's Soccer ๐ฏ

Fans Player of the Year 2026 - Matija Malenoviฤ ๐
As we continue to review an incredible season for Oklahoma United, we're delighted to announce YOUR player of the year! With a tremendous 44% of the vote, Matija Malenovic ๐
Since minute one of the season, Matija proved himself to be an absolutely integral member of the team. His excellent workrate, constant movement, silky-smooth ball control and hawkish vision made him an absolute menace to the opposition ๐
His recognition by our incredible fanbase for this award doesn't come as a huge surprise as Matija quickly became a fan favorite early in our Championship run! His excellent link-up play with Elijah Langford and h_trblz9 provided non-stop action throughout 2026, with Matija sporting his trademark smile throughout ๐
Despite being utilised out-of-position on the wing for much of the campaign, Matija demonstrated his professionalism and character... adapting quickly and slotting into his new role ๐ฅ
Matija's season sadly ended with an injury against FC Dallas U23s in the Red River Conference Playoff Final. BUT Matija's impact on United has been unmistakable and we wish him all the best in his recovery ๐ช
We'd also like to shoutout Alexis Bertrand and Elijah Langford for coming 2nd and 3rd in the vote, respectively ๐ฏ
Keep your eyes peeled because, up next, we'll be revealing our Most Valuable Player of the Year ๐

Chairman's Player of the Year 2026 - Beckham Williams ๐
We're thrilled to announce our second End of Season award-winner, Abdullah Ashraf's pick for Player of the Year, Beckham Williams ๐
Throughout the season, Beckham was the engine of a superb United side. His relentless energy, strong technical ability and creative prowess proved essential during the Championship run ๐ฅ
After a brief stint further up the field at the beginning of the season, Beckham took up the mantle of the team's box-to-box holding midfielder. The decision proved to be a Jimmy Nielsen masterclass, with Beckham comfortably setting the tempo in many matches ๐ช
Beckham often utilised quick bursts of pace, excellent vision and a superb touch to baffle opposing players and set up United goals ๐
We're incredibly grateful for Beckham's role this season and wish him all the best for his upcoming freshman season with Xavier University ๐
Keep your eyes peeled because, up next, we'll be revealing our Fans' Player of the Year ๐

Newcomer of the Year 2026 - Jaxson Lee ๐
As we look back on a remarkable season for Oklahoma United, we're delighted to announce our first End of Season award-winner, Jaxson Lee ๐
From the outset of the season, Jaxson's dominant defensive displays proved pivotal for United. His aerial dominance, combined with picture-perfect tackles and an excellent defensive IQ, made him a BRICK WALL at the back ๐ฅ
Jaxson formed a superb partnership with isaacdalhart to create the tightest defense across the entire The League for Clubs setup, holding out for EIGHT CLEAN SHEETS in 14 matches ๐ช
In addition to his wonderful defensive showings, Jaxson's trademark throw-ins became a fan favorite in the Chad Richison Stadium. His incredible range and power from the sidelines caused havoc for opposing defenders, with some fans nicknaming him "The Oklahoman Rory Delap" ๐
We're incredibly grateful for Jaxson's contributions this season and wish him all the best for his upcoming college season with Stetson University ๐

โ๏ธ A LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN โ๏ธ
Abdullah Ashraf, United's Founder & Chairman, has written an open letter about all things OKUFC and our superb season โค๏ธ
TO READ THE FULL LETTER - Click the link in our bio or visit our website (www.oklahomaunitedfc.com) ๐ฏ
Please enjoy an excerpt of the letter here-
"To the Oklahoma United Family,
When we founded Oklahoma United in late 2024, our vision was straightforward. We weren't creating just another soccer club - we were building an institution that Oklahoma could be proud of. A club rooted in our community, driven by professionalism, and committed to competing at the highest level possible.
This season has been another major step toward that vision.
Winning the regular season, capturing the Red River Conference Championship, lifting the Central Regional Championship against Tulsa Athletic, and competing on the national stage are accomplishments everyone associated with this club should be proud of. Success like this doesn't happen by accident. It's the product of high standards, relentless work, and people who have bought into what we're building.
I want to recognize Jimmy Nielsen, Ben Langford, and Bruno Da Silva for the outstanding job they have done this season. They have created a culture built on accountability, professionalism, discipline, and a winning mentality. Those aren't just coaching principlesโthey're values we expect throughout this organization. The results on the pitch are a reflection of the work that has taken place every day behind the scenes.
To our players, thank you for believing in this project. You represented this club with professionalism and commitment from the first day of preseason until the final whistle. You earned every result through your work ethic, your character, and your willingness to compete for one another...
To our supporters.
You have embraced Oklahoma United from day one. Whether you've been with us since our first match or joined us this season, you've helped build something that is becoming increasingly special.
Thank you for believing in our vision.
While this season has been historic, I can assure you of one thing - we are only getting started." ๐๐๐

Oklahoma United 2๏ธโฃ - 3๏ธโฃ Iron Rose FC
We left everything on the field and battled until the very last whistle. Sometimes football doesnโt reward the effort you put in, but this team has shown heart, resilience, and character all season long. We may have fallen short today, but we refuse to let one result define us.
Keeping our heads high. Look how far weโve come, and just imagine how much further weโre going. This is only another chapter in our journey, and weโll use this moment as fuel. Weโll learn, grow, and come back stronger than ever. ๐
A huge THANK YOU to every single fan who made the trip to support us in such an important match. Your voices, your energy, and your belief in us never went unnoticed. We fight for this badge, but we also fight for all of you. ๐
The story isnโt over. Weโll be back, hungrier, stronger, and more determined than ever.
๐ COME ON UNITED ๐
