OwnerEverton FC

Everton FC's new home ground, Everton Stadium, is under construction on the dock. The Club received planning approval for a 52,888 capacity stadium which is set to be opened in time for the start of the 2025/26 football season. The project was cited as one of the reasons for the revocation of Liverpool's World Heritage Site status as the Liverpool Maritime Mercantile City, with the World Heritage Committee stating that the project was one of the developments which had resulted in a "serious deterioration" of the historic site.
