The Premier League outfit, Everton are reportedly considering making Goodison Park the new home of their women’s team as the men’s side prepare ahead of their to move to Bramley-Moore Dock in the summer.
Ahead of Everton’s men’s team switching to their new stadium next season, The Athletic claims Everton Women could try and move from the 2,200-capacity stadium at Walton Hall Park to Goodison Park.
While the men’s team are set to move into the 52,888-seater stadium — a £760 million ($958m) development, Goodison Park’s future is uncertain. The club’s Goodison Legacy Project was unveiled in 2020 but that can only get off the ground until the men’s first team relocate to Bramley-Moore Dock. The report adds that this project may not get in the way of the women’s team moving to Goodison Park, however.
In 2020, Everton unveiled its Goodison Legacy Project that would include affordable and social housing, a community health and medical centre, residential care, an enterprise building, a new education centre, offices, community-focused retail, three residential towers, and a park.
It remains to be seen what is in store for Goodison Park and Everton’s women’s side but new owners, the Friedkin Group, have said they are keen to grow the team and moving to this iconic ground would help do just that
