Anfield, Association football stadium in Liverpool, England
Anfield is a 53,394-capacity football stadium in Liverpool, England, formed by four separate stands: the Main Stand, Sir Kenny Dalglish Stand, Spion Kop, and Anfield Road End. The ground occupies a compact site surrounded by tight residential streets, and each stand has its own shape and character within the overall structure.
The ground was built in 1884 for Everton Football Club, but Liverpool FC moved in during 1892 after a dispute over the lease erupted. The stands grew through expansions over the decades, especially after successes in the 1970s and 1980s.
Supporters sing You'll Never Walk Alone before matches, while the eternal flame and Shankly Gates at the entrance commemorate those lost at Hillsborough. Matchday rituals turn the streets around the ground into a lively scene of chants, scarves and atmosphere that begins hours before kickoff.
The ground sits around 3 miles from Liverpool city center and offers guided tours daily except on matchdays and bank holidays. The surrounding area features narrow streets, so arriving early and allowing time to explore the site is worthwhile.
The Spion Kop stand takes its name from a hill in South Africa where soldiers from Liverpool fought during the Second Boer War. The playing surface itself sits on a slight gradient, which becomes noticeable when standing in certain sections of the ground.

This collection showcases Liverpool's main monuments, museums, and cultural sites, a busy port in the northwest of England. The city grew from maritime trade and still shows this history in its renovated docks, maritime museums, and Victorian buildings along the Mersey River. Liverpool also has art galleries, theaters, and modern cultural spaces that show how the city has changed since its port roots. Liverpool carries the story of world rock music. The Beatles, who come from the city, made a big impact in the 20th century and changed how people see Liverpool with their songs and creativity. Besides music, the city is full of football passion, with two rival clubs that excite local fans, and a local speech called scouse that the Liverpudlians are proud of. It is a place where old maritime stories meet new artistic ideas. Today, Liverpool attracts visitors who want to see England in a different way. Its docks turned into walkways, its museums telling stories of trade, slavery, movement, and art, and its streets full of energy, show a city that has played an important role in British history. Visiting Liverpool means walking where part of the history of the UK was written.
