Everton Women are set to play at Goodison Park, following the men's side departure to a new stadium. The Grand Old Lady, as it's affectionately known, has a rich history dating back to 1892. Initially, the stadium was the result of a dispute between Everton FC and John Houlding, owner of Anfield Stadium. This led to the formation of Liverpool FC and Everton's move to Mere Green Field in Walton, Lancashire. The stadium was officially opened on 24 August 1892, with an athletics event, music program, and fireworks display. The first football match took place on 2 September 1892, with Everton welcoming Bolton Wanderers in an exhibition game. Goodison Park has since become a iconic venue, hosting numerous significant matches, including the historic clash between Dick, Kerr Ladies and St Helens Ladies in 1920. The stadium has undergone several improvements over the years, including the addition of roofs, new stands, and technical upgrades. Everton Women's move to Goodison Park marks an exciting new chapter for the team, with the stadium offering a unique and historic setting for their matches. The team will now play in the country's largest stadium dedicated to women's football, providing an exceptional experience for the players and fans. With its rich history and promising future, Goodison Park is the perfect home for Everton Women. The stadium's capacity and facilities will provide the team with an ideal setting to compete at the highest level. As Everton Women begin their new era at Goodison Park, fans can expect an exciting and unforgettable experience.
