Everton have announced that Goodison Park will become the permanent home of their women’s side from the start of next season.
The men’s side will be shifting base to the newly-built Everton Stadium at the end of this season after 133 years at Goodison Park. They play their final game at the venue on Sunday against Southampton.
The women’s side, who play their home games at 2,200-capacity Walton Hall Park, have played twice at Goodison in the Women’s Super League (WSL) this season.
“The move addresses Everton Women’s rapid growth and need for a larger, more suitable venue than Walton Hall Park,” the club said in a statement.
“The move to Goodison will include enhancements that will be made over time and will ensure adequate facilities are in place before the start of the season. The relocation will also generate economic opportunities for local businesses through matchday footfall.”
