Goodison Park to Be Everton Women's New Home

Everton Football Club has announced that Goodison Park, its historic 133-year-old stadium, will become the permanent home of Everton Women starting with the 2025/26 season as the men's team relocates to the new Bramley-Moore Dock stadium. The decision, made after a review by new owners The Friedkin Group, reverses earlier demolition and redevelopment plans for Goodison Park and establishes it as England's largest dedicated women's football stadium. The club will implement upgrades and phased enhancements to the stadium to support the women's team and selected academy matches. This move is seen as a landmark for women's football in the UK, preserving the stadium's heritage and providing a purpose-driven venue. It also aims to generate new economic opportunities for the local community. The initiative is widely praised as a blueprint for the future of women's football infrastructure and demonstrates the club's commitment to the growth of the women's game.
