Everton in the Community welcomed Diyar Women’s Football Club to the home of the Blues as part of a tour of Merseyside.

The Palestinian team, which was founded by players at Bethlehem University in 2008 and boasts many players from the Palestine national team, also met the city’s Lord Mayor before travelling to Goodison Park.

EitC, Everton’s official charity, took the group on a tour of the Club’s stadium before arranging a fixture at its new Cruyff Court, located at The People’s Hub on Spellow Lane.

After a thrilling 60 minutes, Diyar Women’s team ended the game with a 36-17 victory.
