Liverpool, Anfield Road 61,276 capacity

Anfield is the iconic home of Liverpool Football Club, located on Anfield Road in the Anfield district of the city of Liverpool. The stadium holds 61,276 spectators following recent expansions and is one of the most celebrated and atmospheric football grounds anywhere in the world. First used as a football ground in 1884, Anfield has been Liverpool's home throughout their entire history since the club's formation in 1892 - it is a place of deep cultural and emotional significance, not just for supporters but for football as a whole.

The ground is famous above all for the Kop, the giant curved single-tier stand at the Anfield Road end. The Kop is one of the most mythologised terraces in the world, capable of generating a deafening wall of noise. The tradition of singing "You'll Never Walk Alone" before matches, adopted from the musical Carousel in the 1960s, has become inseparable from Liverpool's identity and is now sung by clubs worldwide. Anfield has hosted countless decisive European nights, FA Cup matches, and League Championship deciders. Some of football's greatest players have graced its turf, from Roger Hunt and Kevin Keegan to Kenny Dalglish, Steven Gerrard, and Mohamed Salah.

The stadium underwent major expansion in recent years, with the Main Stand redeveloped in 2016 and the Anfield Road Stand extended and reopened in 2023, bringing total capacity to over 61,000. These works reflect Liverpool's ongoing ambitions under the Fenway Sports Group ownership model. The record attendance at Anfield stands at 61,905, set in April 2024. The ground is consistently ranked among the best matchday experiences in European football and draws visitors from across the globe year-round.
