Capacity: 52,769
Opened: 2025
Location: Bramley-Moore Dock, Vauxhall, Liverpool, England
Hill Dickinson Stadium, opened in 2025, is the new home of Everton Football Club, replacing Goodison Park. With a capacity of 52,769 for Premier League and other major fixtures, it ranks among the larger stadiums in England.
Built on the historic Bramley-Moore Dock site, once a working dock on the River Mersey, the stadium seamlessly blends modern design and amenities with nods to Everton’s rich heritage.
Founded in 1878 (initially as St Domingo’s), Everton has a rich history of success in English football—winning multiple League titles, FA Cups, and establishing itself as a foundational club in the Football League.
Nickname’d the “Toffees,” Everton are known for their royal blue and white colours, their loyal fan-base, attacking tradition, and fierce rivalry with Liverpool across the Mersey.
Hill Dickinson Stadium is designed to be more than just a match-day venue: it forms part of a broader vision for regeneration in the dock area, expected to contribute economically and socially to the city.
- Everton was a founding member of the Football League in 1888, making them one of the oldest and most historic clubs in England.
- Before Liverpool FC existed, Everton originally played at Anfield. A dispute with the landlord led Everton to leave in 1892, and Liverpool was formed to fill the empty ground.
- Everton has won the top-flight league title 9 times, the FA Cup 5 times, and the European Cup Winners’ Cup once (1985).
- Goodison Park was the first purpose-built football stadium in England and has hosted more top-flight games than any other ground in the country.
- Everton were one of the first clubs to wear shirt numbers in English football, introducing them in 1933 for an FA Cup final.
- The club originally wore black, then pink, before settling on the now-iconic royal blue and white kit.
- Everton holds the record for the most seasons played in the top flight of English football, with over 120 seasons.
- Everton earned the nickname “The School of Science” in the 1920s for their stylish, technical approach to football.
- In 1985, after winning the Cup Winners’ Cup, Everton were expected to dominate Europe, but the Heysel disaster and subsequent European ban denied them that chance.
- Leighton Baines – Cult hero at left-back, admired for his consistency, pinpoint crossing, free-kick mastery, and unwavering loyalty to Everton.
- Seamus Coleman – Long-serving captain and tenacious right-back, celebrated for his leadership, determination, and dedication to the club.
- Alan Ball – World Cup winner and midfield dynamo, remembered for his tireless energy, skill, and pivotal role in Everton’s 1970 league title triumph.
- William “Dixie” Dean – Everton’s greatest icon and record goalscorer, legendary for his incredible 60-goal league season in 1927–28 and his unmatched impact on English football history.
