About Everton Football Club
Everton Football Club is one of the world's most respected and revered names in sport – a by-word for innovation, professionalism and community. The club has a glittering history spanning three centuries, forged by the aspirational motto “Nil Satis Nisi Optimum” – nothing but the best is good enough. As a founder member of both the Football League and Premier League, we have played more top‑flight games than any other club, winning nine league titles, five FA Cups and a European Cup Winners’ Cup.
In summer 2025 we moved to Hill Dickinson Stadium, a world‑class waterfront arena on Liverpool’s iconic River Mersey. The new home is the most sustainable and accessible Premier League stadium, also a state‑of‑the‑art 365‑venue for non‑football events and conferences.
On the pitch, we remain committed to developing and supporting teams across our Men’s, Women’s and Academy set‑ups that inspire, bring pride and continue to compete at the highest level of the game.
