Everton

The Hill Dickinson Stadium is Everton Football Club's brand-new waterfront ground, situated on the north docks of Liverpool at Bramley-Moore Dock, beside the River Mersey. The stadium holds 52,888 spectators and opened in 2025, ending Everton's extraordinary 132-year association with Goodison Park, where the club had played since 1892. Built on a UNESCO World Heritage Site buffer zone, the project was one of the most complex and high-profile stadium construction undertakings in British football history, requiring years of planning, consultation, and funding negotiations.

The new ground is widely regarded as one of the most stunning football venues in Europe. Its design, inspired by the industrial heritage of the Liverpool docklands, features dramatic brick cladding, a partially retractable roof, and panoramic views of the River Mersey from upper tiers. The Brick Building facade and its proximity to the water create a unique aesthetic that sets it apart from all other Premier League stadiums. The stadium's opening marked a new chapter in the club's history after a period of significant financial difficulty and off-pitch turbulence.

Goodison Park, which Everton left behind, holds a treasured place in football history as one of the original great grounds of the English game. It hosted FA Cup finals in the Victorian era, matches at the 1966 FIFA World Cup including Pele's Brazil versus Hungary, and over a century of memorable top-flight football. The new Hill Dickinson Stadium honours this heritage while giving Everton the modern facilities to compete at the highest level. Record attendances are expected to be challenged regularly as the club reestablishes itself in the Premier League.
