Everton are considering making Goodison Park the new home for the club’s women’s team.

The men’s team are set to leave their historic Goodison Park home of 133 years to the Everton Stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock at the start of the 2025-26 Premier League season.

The 52,888-seater stadium — a £760million ($958m) development including ancillary works — is viewed as a necessary upgrade to Goodison Park’s capacity of 39,500.

The departure of the men’s team has opened the possibility of Everton Women, who play in the Women’s Super League, moving into the stadium full-time, according to sources who wished to remain anonymous to protect relationships.

Staff is hard at with changing ⁦@cmpark⁩ from a soccer setup for ⁦@SportingKC⁩’s ⁦@opencup⁩ semifinal win last night to a football setup for ⁦⁦@KU_Football⁩’s season opener tomorrow against Lindenwood. Play clocks, guides ropes for the nets, painting.

Ground crews are amazing.. Sporting KC’s U.S. Open Cup match didn’t wrap until almost 12:30am last night. Quick turnaround to get this field ready for the Kansas opener tomorrow night!
