Description: Anfield Road Stadium is considered a 4-star Uefa stadium and it hosted a lot of important games, some of them for England team too. The stadium has 4 all-seater stands called: the Anfield Road Stand, the Centenary Stand, the Kop and the Main Stand.

Brief History: Built in 1884, the stadium was initially the home of Everton, but in 1888 Everton moved to Goodison Park and the stadium’s owner has decided to form a new club called: Livepool Association Football Club. Like this, Anfield Road was Livepool’s home since 1888. The stadium hosted several important games and during time, it had a lot of modifications and the stadium’s capacity has became 45,362. But, since Liverpool is one of the most important football clubs from Europe, the club wants to expand their stadium more but due to difficulties of expanding Anfield beyond it’s current boundries, the club will soon move to a new stadium called New Anfield. The initial plans were made in 2000 and the new stadium will have a capacity of over 70,000 seats. The club will move there in the 2010-2011 season, but until then, Anfield Road will remain the place where they’ve had their biggest successes.
