Everton Women to make permanent move to Goodison Park | OneFootball

Everton have announced the news that Goodison Park will become the permanent home of their women’s team from next season.

WSL Full-Time were informed of the news via an official club press release from The Toffees this afternoon.

Everton Women have been playing their games at Walton Hall Park since 2020, however, the venue offers little opportunity for long-term growth and can only house a small number of fans. With the men’s team now set to relocate to a new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock over the summer, the opportunity has been created for Everton’s women’s team to move to the club’s traditional Goodison Park home on a permanent basis.

After Everton Women’s move to Goodison Park was announced, manager Brian Sørensen said “Moving to Goodison Park is a huge moment for everyone connected to Everton Women. To call one of the most iconic stadiums in world football our permanent home is a privilege and a clear sign of the ambition this Club has for the women’s team.

“Our players will now have a stage that matches their potential, our fans will have a place to build an even stronger matchday culture and young girls across Merseyside will see that this is a club where dreams can grow and come true.

“We are incredibly grateful to The Friedkin Group, the wider Board for believing in what this team can achieve as well as leaders in our game like Nikki Doucet for giving us a platform for continued growth. Goodison will give us a new identity, the chance to build on an incredible legacy and allow our fans to create an energy every time we step onto the pitch.”

Everton Women will move to Goodison Park over the summer while their former Walton Hall Park home will remain an active venue for grassroots, community and development programmes for women’s and girls’ football.
