History of Anfield Stadium

Anfield Stadium, the home of Liverpool FC, began its journey in 1884 as the original ground for Everton FC. When Everton left due to a landlord dispute, Liverpool FC sprang to life in 1892, kicking off with a thrilling 7-1 victory over Rotherham Town.

Fast forward to the late 1920s, when the iconic Kop Stand transformed into England's largest terrace, known for its electric atmosphere. Post-war, floodlights were added in 1957, and the stadium continued to evolve, especially after the Hillsborough disaster in 1989, which changed safety standards forever.

In 2016, the Main Stand expansion increased capacity to 54,074; by 2024, the Anfield Road Stand brought it up to over 61,000! Today, Anfield isn't just a stadium; it's an integral part of Liverpool's identity, inviting fans and tourists alike to bask in its unrivaled spirit.
