Everton Men Bid Farewell, Women Move to Goodison

Everton's men's team will play their final game at Goodison Park on Sunday, ending a 133-year era before relocating to the new Bramley-Moore Dock stadium for the 2025/26 season. Special farewell ceremonies and opportunities for fans to purchase their seats are planned to honor the historic stadium, which was designed by Archibald Leitch and is recognized as England's first purpose-built football ground. Goodison Park will become the new permanent home for Everton Women, with upper tiers closed to create a more intimate matchday environment. Previous plans to demolish the stadium have been abandoned, preserving its legacy for the women's and youth teams. The transition aims to enhance the club’s competitiveness while maintaining a strong connection to its heritage. The move is seen as a landmark moment for women's football infrastructure and the local community.
