Brighton & Hove Albion has unveiled ambitious plans to construct Europe's first new stadium exclusively for a women's football team, Reuters reports. The proposed 10,000-capacity venue is slated to open its doors for the start of the 2030/2031 season.
The new stadium will be situated adjacent to the men's American Express Community Stadium and will be one of only three globally dedicated solely to a women's team. The other two are located in the United States, specifically in Kansas City and Denver.
"This initiative will significantly aid us in achieving our ambitions to build a formidable team, not just within the domestic women's league but also on the European stage. With this new stadium, we also hope to attract top-tier staff and passionate fans," stated Zoe Johnson, Director of the women's team.
