Goodison Park is a football stadium in Walton, Liverpool, England, 2 miles (3 km) north of the city centre, which is the home of Premier League club Everton since 1892 and has an all-seated capacity of 39,414.[1]
Goodison Park has hosted more top-flight games than any other stadium in England.[2] It has also been the venue for an FA Cup Final and numerous international fixtures, including a semi-final match in the 1966 World Cup.
Initially, Everton planned to leave Goodison Park and relocate to their new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock in 2024, but they now have decided to leave their home at the end of the 2024–25 season, after which the stadium will be demolished and the site redeveloped.
