what will happen to goodison park

Goodison Park, the historic stadium of Everton FC, will no longer be demolished. Instead, starting from the 2025-26 season, it will become the permanent home for Everton's women's team. This will make Goodison Park the largest stadium in the UK dedicated exclusively to women's football, with a capacity adjusted to around 39,000. Additionally, selected academy matches will be hosted there, and the stadium will play a role in the community with Everton's multi-academy education trust relocating its flagship Everton Football College to the venue. The club also plans to keep Goodison Park an active and vibrant asset for the local community, with potential development of a museum and legacy projects to honor the club's history. Everton's men's senior team will move to a new 53,000-seat stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock, while Goodison Park will continue to be a key player in Everton's broader vision including regeneration efforts in North Liverpool.
