Goodison Park is to become the home of Everton's women after the club scrapped plans to demolish the 132-year-old stadium.
The Blues will move to their new 53,000-seater arena at Bramley-Moore Dock this summer.
During construction of the new facility on the Liverpool waterfront, Everton's previous ownership group announced plans for an £82m post-demolition renovation project at the Goodison site, which was set to include housing, a care home, retail units and a park.
But after being taken over by private equity firm The Friedkin Group in December, the club conducted a feasibility study about maintaining the stadium as a home for the women's team, and have now opted to continue operating the site.
