The expansion of the Anfield Road Stand of the Premier League team Liverpool F.C. (UK) continues to take shape as the latest behind-the-scenes construction images reveal.

The ‘Liverpool FC’ stated that the Central and East cores are well underway, with formwork surrounding the central core being prepared to receive concrete.

The Liverpool Football Club is a professional football club in Liverpool, England (UK), which competes in the Premier League, the top tier of English football. Domestically, the club has won 19 League titles, seven FA Cups, a record eight League Cups, and 15 FA Community Shield.

Anfield is a football stadium in Anfield, Liverpool, Merseyside, England (UK), which has a seating capacity of 53,394, making it the seventh largest football stadium in England. It has been the home of Liverpool F.C. since their formation in 1892.

The redevelopment of the stand will see 7,000 more seats added to Anfield, taking its overall capacity to more than 61,000. The construction of the stand will work in the same way as the redeveloped Main Stand, with the build taking place throughout the season while matches continue to be played throughout.

The ‘Liverpool FC’ further stated that the lift shaft number four is complete and reaches around 40 feet above the ground, to serve all floors and the roof level.

Work on the stand expansion, which will add, as earlier mentioned, around 7,000 seats to the stadium’s overall capacity, began in September 2021 and is nearing its first six-month milestone.

Developing behind the existing Anfield Road Stand allows full capacity on matchdays to continue without any disruption. Completion of the works is anticipated ahead of the 2023-2024 seasons.
