Brighton’s plans to build Europe’s first purpose-built women’s stadium is the “kind of progress we have dreamed about for years”, the Brighton and former England forward Fran Kirby has said.
The Women’s Super League club have released the first images of the 10,000-capacity venue, which they hope to open in time for the 2030-31 season. Subject to receiving planning permission, the stadium would be directly adjacent to the Amex Stadium and would include an underground car park. Everything from the changing rooms to the concourse will be designed for female athletes and a WSL audience. The club say the design will be specifically “welcoming for families and first-time attendees” with social spaces.
