Everton are preparing to make their final game at Goodison Park a memorable one for supporters.
It’s a period of significant change for the Toffees right now after undergoing a takeover and having a managerial change this season.
However, one of the biggest changes is yet to come as the Merseyside giants will be leaving Goodison Park at the end of the season after 133 years.
It will prove to be an emotional situation for fans, young and old, due to how many memories have been made inside the iconic stadium throughout that time, but the Toffees are set to move on.
Everton are looking to have the women’s team play at Goodison Park moving forward, but the men’s team will be moving to Bramley-Moore Dock from the start of next season.
Everton have already run several test matches at the new stadium to get everything prepared, but they’re also focusing on how to make the Goodison Park send-off a memorable one.
Everton have big plans for Goodison Park
Everton’s final match at Goodison Park will be their penultimate game of the season against Southampton, who are now officially relegated from the Premier League.
The Saints will have nothing to play for when the two teams meet, and that could set the scene for Everton to give the stadium the perfect send-off.
| Opponent | Date |
| Manchester City | 19 April 2025 |
| Ipswich | 3 May 2025 |
| Southampton | 18 May 2025 |
It has been revealed by the Liverpool Echo (7 April) that Everton have sent an application to the Liverpool Council to allow the celebrations to be extended at Goodison Park.
It is set to be a sell-out as Everton fans aim to say their goodbyes, with the belief being that they will stay long after the game ends.
And club chiefs want to ensure supporters can stay behind inside the ground and enjoy themselves, which includes the sale of alcohol beyond the usual cut-off point.
David Moyes steadied the ship
There had been concerns at the start of the season that moving stadiums was going to be a costly mistake, as there were worries that Everton would be relegated.
Sean Dyche had struggled during his tenure as the Toffees were getting pulled into the fight for relegation, which is why David Moyes was brought in.
Keeping Everton in the Premier League was crucial for him due to the financial ramifications that being relegated would have had, but at this stage in the season, it appears that Moyes has achieved that.
