Overview

  • Goodison Park, Everton's home since 1892, has been saved from demolition and will serve as the permanent home for Everton Women starting next season.
  • The move follows a review of the Goodison Legacy project by new owners, The Friedkin Group, after their December 2024 takeover of the club.
  • With a capacity of 39,572, Goodison will become the largest stadium in England dedicated solely to women's football, signaling increased investment in the sport.
  • Planned upgrades will enhance the stadium for Women’s Super League matches, selected Academy games, and expanded community programs led by Everton in the Community.
  • Everton Women’s captain Megan Finnigan and WSL CEO Nikki Doucet hailed the decision as a transformative moment for the women’s game and the local community.
