Goodison Park will become the permanent home of Everton Women from the 2025/26 season.
It comes as the men’s senior team move to the Everton Stadium this summer, located at Bramley-Moore Dock, keeping Goodison Park as a key part of the club.
Everton will make upgrades to the stadium to ensure it is in the best condition to welcome the women’s team when their season begins, with a club statement adding it will ‘also generate economic opportunities for local businesses through matchday footfall’.
Goodison Park will also host selected academy matches and expand Everton in the Community’s L4 campus.
Since 2020, the women’s team have been playing their home games at Walton Hall Park, which will continue to serve grassroots, community and development programmes for women’s and girls’ football.
They have also previously played games at Goodison Park, including the Merseyside derby against Liverpool Women.
An Everton statement also said: “The decision follows an in-depth review of the Goodison Legacy project by The Friedkin Group (TFG) since their takeover in December.
Everton Women finished eighth in the WSL last season
“The move addresses Everton Women’s rapid growth and need for a larger, more suitable venue than Walton Hall Park.
“TFG’s commitment to the women’s team has been evident through recent investments in players and staff. The ambition is to create a team capable of challenging for honours – backed by high-quality facilities and a world-renowned home.”
Everton CEO Angus Kinnear said: “We know how treasured Goodison is, not only to every Evertonian, but to the game itself, and being able to keep such an iconic stadium at the heart of the legacy project is something that has been incredibly important to us.
“The women’s game has grown significantly in recent years, and we believe that growth will continue and accelerate. We’re under no illusions; there are obstacles we need to overcome to make this a success both practically and economically, but we’re confident that we will overcome those challenges.”
Highlights from the WSL match between Everton and Spurs
Everton Women’s head coach Brian Sorensen added: “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.”

That’s where the majority of five-star recruits have ended up.But he is headed to the ACC instead.

Rosenthal: Rob Manfred’s decision to reinstate Pete Rose raises questions about what’s next
The first question about Pete Rose’s reinstatement is obvious: Why did Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred reverse course? Though Rose’s attorney and oldest daughter surely made heartfelt pleas on behalf of the all-time hit king, it’s reasonable to wonder if pressure on Manfred from President Donald Trump had a greater impact.AdvertisementIf Trump did indeed help persuade the commissioner, it leads to another question: Can the president succeed in lobbying Rose into the Hall of Fame? Here’s guessing that influencing the Hall’s committee process would be more challenging, but after Manfred’s stunning decision Tuesday to posthumously remove Rose, Shoeless Joe Jackson and others from the permanently ineligible list, who can say for sure?Rose, who died on Sept. 30, wanted nothing more than to be enshrined in Cooperstown, but said on multiple occasions that it would never happen while he was […]

What Jayson Tatum’s torn Achilles means for the All-NBA player, the Celtics and the rest of the league
Getty Images Jayson Tatum's torn Achilles tendon, without hyperbole, is among the most consequential injuries in NBA history. Kevin Durant comes to mind as a similarly gifted player to suffer such an injury, but he was almost 31 when he went down in the 2019 NBA Finals. Tatum just turned 27. Only a handful of First-Team All-NBA players have ever missed a season in their 20s. Bill Walton and Derrick Rose were never the same. Bernard King eventually did return to All-Star form, but it took several years and he proceeded to get hurt again immediately afterward.A week ago, a Celtics dynasty was plausible. They were -900 favorites against the New York Knicks before their second-round series began. That number is +400 on Caesars after Tatum's injury news. Just by virtue of playing in the Eastern Conference, their path to […]
