Anfield has been home to Liverpool Football Club ever since the club's formation in 1892. However, the Reds were not the first club to play at the ground. Everton played at Anfield before ending their tenancy after an eight-year stay.
Redesigned in 1928 to house 30,000 standing supporters the Kop soon developed a reputation for being one of the most cacophonous football stands in the country. Redevelopment of the Main Stand, adding 8,000 seats to the capacity, was completed at the beginning of the 2016/17 campaign.
Located about two miles north of the city centre and nestling among the red-brick buildings of the Anfield area, "the home of football" has retained its dual status as both traditional community hub and iconic ground of global renown.
