LIVERPOOL, England (AP) 鈥 Goodison Park will become the home of Everton鈥檚 women鈥檚 team from next season, the English club said Tuesday.

Instead of Goodison Park being demolished, it will host Women鈥檚 Super League matches, with the women鈥檚 side moving from its nearby current home in Walton Hall Park.

鈥淭his move is a testament to where the women鈥檚 game is right now and, more importantly, where it is heading,” Everton captain Megan Finnigan said. 鈥淕oodison is a magical stadium with a deep heritage and close ties to the local community.
鈥淟eading the team out for that first home match of next season will be nothing short of a career highlight 鈥 and the prospect of what Everton Women can become with such an iconic ground to call our home is hugely exciting.鈥
The decision follows a review of the Goodison Legacy project 鈥 launched in 2020 鈥 by the Friedkin Group following its takeover of the club in December.
Goodison Park will also stage some academy matches, while there will be a program of stadium upgrades ahead of the new season.
