The Ground
Anfield stands as one of the most historic and iconic football grounds in the world. Located in the heart of Liverpool, it has been the proud home of Liverpool Football Club since 1892, witnessing the rise of one of the most successful clubs in English and European football.
With a capacity of just over 61,000, Anfield offers an electrifying matchday experience that few stadiums can rival. From the world-famous Kop Stand, where generations of supporters have sung “You’ll Never Walk Alone,” to the modern Main Stand with its towering structure and state-of-the-art facilities, every corner of the ground embodies passion, tradition, and the enduring bond between the club and its fans.
Anfield’s design blends history with modernisation. Recent redevelopments, particularly the expansion of the Main Stand and the Anfield Road End, have increased capacity while preserving the intimacy and intensity that make the stadium unique. Every seat provides excellent views of the pitch, and when the crowd is in full voice, the atmosphere is recognised globally as one of the most powerful in sport.
Beyond the matches, Anfield also serves as a cultural and community hub. The Liverpool FC Museum showcases the club’s illustrious history, from domestic triumphs to six European Cups, while stadium tours allow visitors to walk through the players’ tunnel, sit in the dugout, and even stand on the Kop.
