Goodison Park is a football stadium in Walton, Liverpool, England, that has been the home of Premier League club Everton since 1892. It is 2 miles (3 km) north of the city centre, and has an all-seated capacity of 39,414.[1]
Goodison Park has hosted more top-flight games than any other stadium in England.[2] It has also been the venue for an FA Cup Final and numerous international fixtures, including a semi-final match in the 1966 World Cup.
Initially, Everton planned to relocate to Everton Stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock in 2024, but the club now has decided to leave its home at the end of the 2024–25 season, after which Goodison Park was intended to be demolished.[3] However, following Everton's 2024 takeover, the new owners said the stadium would be "preserved for community use" and a feasibility study was commissioned to determine if the stadium could host the club's women's team.[4]
