A revolutionary 10,000-capacity home designed for the Women's team. Discover the groundbreaking features and historic significance of this European first.
Brighton have unveiled their groundbreaking new 10,000-capacity stadium for the club's Women's team.
This will be the first time that a top-flight club has ever built a purpose-built stadium in England and Europe. Only one of three across the world.
Other clubs have offered their men's stadium for the women's sides, but Brighton intended on creating something that felt like a home.
The core details are incredible, too.
There will be breastfeeding rooms, baby changing areas and 'buggy parks' for prams, as well as social spaces on the concourse to host events and underground car parking.
The stadium will stand next to the Amex, located on the Bennetts Field land, which was previously a car-parking space for matchdays and hospitality.
The two stadiums will be connected, and will give that feeling of being at the home of Brighton and Hove Albion football club.
The new stadium will also be functional for the academy, and providing further usage of the ground. Albion hope to open for the 2030/31 season, despite initially aiming for 2027/28.
An exciting new chapter in the story of Brighton, who look to continue their growth as a club. Owner Tony Bloom has invested a significant amount of money into building long-term success, and growing the women's side of the game is essential.
This is added to Bloom's £8.5 million investment to add the women's side to Lancing Training Ground, where the men and development squads work.
