Everton FC

Everton Football Club is a football club from the United Kingdom based in Liverpool (England). The club has competed in the Premier League, the top tier of English football, uninterruptedly since 1954, the second-longest current run, being one of the biggest and most historic clubs in the English league alongside Liverpool, Chelsea, Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotspur, among other big clubs of the English league, surpassed only by Arsenal, which is the club with the most appearances. It has been league champion on nine occasions, the fifth most decorated club, and is one of the founding members of the Football League in 1888 and of the Premier League in 1992.

Founded on 1 January 1878, it played its home matches at Goodison Park from 1892 until 2025, and since 2025 it has played its matches at Everton Stadium (Hill Dickinson Stadium for sponsorship reasons).

Its traditional colours have been blue and white since the 1901–02 season. Yellow has tended to be used since the 1960s as an alternative colour for trimmings and details and for its away kits. Its most representative player and all-time top scorer is Dixie Dean, who scored 60 goals in the 1927–28 season. Since 2000, the club has annually recognised its most notable former players as "notable contributors to the club", who receive the title of Everton Giants, in recognition of their careers.

Its main rivalry is with Liverpool F. C., a neighbouring entity from the same city that arose from a dispute between Everton's directors and John Houlding, then owner of Anfield, with whom it contests the Merseyside derby.
