Everton expect work to start on new stadium despite coronavirus pandemic

According to recent reports, Everton FC is still planning to start construction work on their new stadium, despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The club has been working on the project for several years, and despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, they remain committed to moving forward with the development.

The new stadium, which is expected to have a capacity of around 52,000, is planned to be built on the site of the current Goodison Park stadium, which has been Everton's home since 1892. The new stadium is expected to feature state-of-the-art facilities, including improved seating, better amenities, and enhanced fan experience.

In a statement, Everton's majority shareholder, Farhad Moshiri, expressed his commitment to the project, saying: "We are committed to delivering a world-class stadium for our fans and the city of Liverpool. We are working closely with our partners and stakeholders to ensure that the project is delivered safely and efficiently, despite the challenges posed by the pandemic."

The club has also announced that they have secured a new funding package to support the project, which will help to ensure that the stadium is completed on schedule.

It's worth noting that the pandemic has had a significant impact on the construction industry, with many projects being delayed or put on hold due to the restrictions and challenges posed by the virus. However, Everton's commitment to the project suggests that they are confident that they can overcome these challenges and deliver the new stadium on time.
