Overview

  • Goodison Park, originally slated for demolition, will now serve as the permanent home of Everton Women starting in the 2025/26 season.
  • The move follows a strategic review by Everton's new owners, The Friedkin Group, who prioritized preserving the stadium's heritage and community ties.
  • With a capacity of 39,000, Goodison Park will become the largest dedicated venue for a Women's Super League team in England.
  • The decision addresses Everton Women's need for a larger, more suitable venue, as they currently play at the 2,220-capacity Walton Hall Park.
  • Targeted upgrades to Goodison Park are planned to enhance the facility for women's football, while the stadium will also host academy matches and community programs.
