It is not only famous for its club, Liverpool FC, but also due to its history. Built in 1884, this stadium originally belonged to Everton. However, a dispute rose between The Toffees committee and one of its member over the club management and negotiation on buying the land in 1892. Such feud led to Everton’s move to Goodison Park which is not so far away from Anfield, while Liverpool FC was just founded afterwards.
Stadium Facilities
Anfield’s four stands are the Main Stand where director’s box and VIP lie as well as the technical area below, the Kop where the die-hard fans are usually placed, Sir Kenny Danglish Stand and the Anfield Road Stand for the away fans. There are also Reducate, The Reds Museum and official club shop, 59 spaces for the fans with disabilities spread all over the stands, 38 of which are for the visually impaired fans in the old paddock area of the Main Stand with the space for personal assistant and headset for live commentary are provided.

This venue also hosted five FA Cup semi finals and several international friendly matches. The first one was England against Ireland in 1889 while the last one was England versus Uruguay in 2006.
