EVERTON — Everton’s women’s team will become permanent residents at Goodison Park, which will host the men’s side’s final Premier League game there on Sunday after 133 years at the ground before they move to a new stadium, the club announced on Tuesday.

The decision follows an in-depth review of the Goodison Legacy project by The Friedkin Group (TFG) since their takeover of the Merseyside club in December. Goodison Park will be the largest dedicated women’s football ground in England.The Goodison Legacy project was launched in 2020 to decide the future of Goodison, and with the men’s team moving to the new 53,000 capacity Everton Stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock after this season, the Friedkin Group decided football must be kept at the heart of the old ground’s community.“We know how treasured Goodison is, not only to every Evertonian, but to the game itself, and being able to keep such an iconic stadium at the heart of the legacy project is something that has been incredibly important to us,” Everton’s new CEO Angus Kinnear said in a statement.
