WALTON HALL PARK BECOMES NEW HOME FOR LIVERPOOL FEDS IN EVERTON COLLABORATION

Everton Women will be entering into an exciting new collaboration with Liverpool Feds Women’s Football Club.

The agreement will see the Feds play their home fixtures at Walton Hall Park – underlining Everton’s ongoing commitment to supporting the growth of the girls’ and women’s football pyramid.

With Goodison Park now the permanent home of Everton Women, the Club had pledged to ensure Walton Hall Park continues to serve as a hub for grassroots, community and development activity – with a specific focus on opportunities for women and girls. The move will see Liverpool Feds benefit from WSL facilities, an elite level pitch and enhanced player and supporter amenities as the club competes against Burnley, Wolves, Stoke and West Brom in a competitive division.

Everton Free School and Football College – part of the The People’s Learning Trust – will also be utilising Walton Hall Park, alongside Everton Under-21s men’s team who will play their home fixtures there, ensuring the stadium plays a central role in supporting development football across the city. Welcoming the Feds to the stadium is another powerful step in fulfilling that promise.

Founded in 1990, Liverpool Feds have developed from a grassroots side into one of the region’s leading women’s football clubs. They now compete in the FA Women’s National League Northern Premier Division, the third tier of women’s football in England.

Hannah Forshaw, Everton Women’s new Chief Executive, said: “This is an exciting time for Everton Women, as we begin our historic journey at Goodison Park. Partnering with Liverpool Feds reflects our wider commitment to championing women’s football across the city – from the grassroots to the elite game.

“By supporting a thriving local National League side and ensuring Walton Hall Park remains a hub of opportunity, we’re not only maximising elite-level pitch usage but also helping to inspire the next generation of players and fans.

“This collaboration is another demonstration of how we will be using our facilities at Everton to continue to play a leading role in the growth of women’s football.”

Originally formed by students at Liverpool Hope University, the Feds have grown into a truly community-driven club. Today they embody the spirit of grassroots women’s football in the city of Liverpool and boast a thriving youth section, with more than 150 girls from under-10s to under-18s playing football every week.

Liverpool Feds general manager Abby Pope said: “The move to Walton Hall Park marks a significant milestone for Liverpool Feds. It not only elevates our matchday experience for both our players, staff and fans but also strengthens the visibility of women’s football in Liverpool.

“This partnership reflects our ambition and belief in the power of collaboration to inspire the next generation of players and fans.

“We want to thank Everton for their collaboration and support in making this move possible, and we wish them every success as they begin their exciting new chapter at Goodison Park.”
