Everton's £750m Stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock

Everton’s New Stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock: A Game-Changer for the Club and Fans

It was a freezing Monday night on the banks of the River Mersey, but for 10,000 lucky Evertonians, it marked the beginning of a new era. Everton's brand-new Bramley-Moore Dock Stadium opened its doors for the first time, hosting an under-18s friendly against Wigan. The event was a historic moment, offering fans their first glimpse of what promises to be one of the Premier League’s most iconic venues.

A Stadium Worth £750 Million – Built for the Future ⚽🏟️

After four years of development and a £750 million investment, Everton’s new home is finally here. With a capacity of 52,888, it will be the seventh-largest stadium in the Premier League and has already been selected as a host venue for Euro 2028.

The sheer size of the stadium is breathtaking! Unlike Goodison Park, which is tucked away among Victorian houses, the Bramley-Moore Dock Stadium dominates the skyline. It is a futuristic blend of steel and red brick, honoring the club’s rich history while embracing a modern footballing experience.

First Match at Bramley-Moore Dock: A Night to Remember 🌟

The game itself was secondary to the historic occasion. Wigan’s Harrison Rimmer made history by scoring the first-ever goal at the new stadium – a moment he cheekily celebrated by holding up six fingers (a nod to Liverpool’s six Champions League titles).
