Goodison Park has been Everton's cherished home since 1892, making it one of the oldest purpose-built football stadiums in the world. Over the years, it's witnessed countless memorable moments, including hosting an FA Cup Final and serving as a venue during the 1966 FIFA World Cup. The stadium's intimate and electric atmosphere has made Merseyside derbies particularly special, with fans packed close to the action, creating an unforgettable experience.
In a thrilling farewell to this historic fixture, the final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park took place on February 12, 2025, ending in a dramatic 2-2 draw. The match was filled with intensity and emotion, culminating in a stoppage-time equalizer by James Tarkowski for Everton. The celebrations led to a heated altercation, resulting in red cards for players and managers alike.

As Everton prepares to move to their new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock for the 2025–26 season, the legacy of Goodison Park will undoubtedly live on in the hearts of fans. The new venue promises modern amenities and increased capacity, but the memories forged at Goodison will always hold a special place in football history.
