Everton announces their departure from Goodison Park and the date of their move to the new Bramley-Moore Dock stadium.
Although the Toffees’ new home ground is still being built,
It won’t be long until they relocate to Liverpool’s famed docks.
Colin Chong, the interim CEO of Everton,
has disclosed the date of the inaugural competitive football matches to be played at the new stadium.
The Toffees’ final campaign at their cherished Goodison Park home will begin in 2024–2025.
Matches will then be played at the brand-new 52,888-capacity Bramley-Moore Dock stadium, which is situated in the city’s Vauxhall neighborhood along the banks of the Mersey River, starting with the 2025–2026 season.
The club has additionally disclosed that there are no building delays to blame for the decision.
In a blog post on Friday, Chong stated, “The first competitive football fixtures for our senior men’s side will take place at our new stadium at the start of the 2025–26 season.”
First and foremost, we want to be crystal clear: we did not decide to move in the middle of the season due to a construction hold-up.
The club made the decision based on a number of considerations, including sound business judgment and a careful analysis of the required logistics.
A potential impact assessment on our football operations, and—above all—the feedback from supporters received from our most recent stadium migration survey, which received responses from close to 10,000 Evertonians.
“In order to receive our safety certificate, we will need to hold test events at our new location, allowing us to stress-test the stadium in a variety of ways. Additionally, Evertonians will get the opportunity to view and use the new facilities.
According to Chong, fans will receive details at the beginning of 2024 regarding how to buy memberships for all of the eateries, bars, and activities the new stadium has to offer.
After Everton eventually leaves Goodison Park, 134 years in the Walton neighborhood of Merseyside will come to an end.
