Liverpool FC Women are to play their home games at St Helens Stadium in Merseyside from the start of next season and also hope to stage some fixtures at Anfield.

St Helens RFC use the venue from February through to September, so Liverpool will have sole occupancy of the stadium – for which they have a 10-year lease –  for almost half of the season.

Susan Black, LFC’s director of communications and Liverpool FC Women executive director, told liverpoolfc.com: “This is another step forward for our women’s first team and we’re so excited to relocate to a new long-term home.

“Our players and incredible supporters were at the forefront of our decision-making process. We are confident St Helens will be a great matchday home and will look and feel part of the Liverpool family.

“Our next chapter for our women’s first team is about building solid foundation stones and today’s matchday venue announcement is another positive step forward on our journey.”

Manager Matt Beard said: “This is the exciting next chapter on our journey, and I’m absolutely delighted with this investment from the club.

“At the heart of this move are the two most important groups at the club: the players and the fans. The players will have a wonderful new pitch and facilities to enjoy, while the matchday experience for the supporters will be so much improved.

“We’ve built up a loyal following at Prenton Park and we look forward to welcoming them to St Helens along with hopefully opening up the women’s game to many new supporters as well.”
