OUH launches World Cup Squad 2026 to celebrate diversity

Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (OUH) has launched OUH World Cup Squad 2026 to highlight the wide range of nationalities and backgrounds within its workforce.

Running alongside the men’s football World Cup from June 11 to July 19, the campaign features staff from across the trust, including those not directly employed by OUH.

The trust is encouraging staff to share stories about their roles, backgrounds, and the countries and cultures they are connected to.

Throughout the tournament, OUH will showcase staff profiles with connections to many of the 48 teams in the tournament.

Profiles cover a range of roles, including clinical staff, administrative teams, and support services.

They will be shared on the trust’s Facebook and Instagram channels.

While the tournament provides a global stage, the focus is on people and the shared values that bring colleagues together.

The trust said in an online statement: “Marking the men’s football World Cup (11 June to 19 July), OUH World Cup Squad 2026 uses the global tournament as a backdrop to highlight what matters all year round: the people who make up the Trust.

“The campaign reflects a simple idea: Many nations. One team.”
