LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Everton will host international sport in its new stadium just a few months after it opens.
The club announced Wednesday that a high-profile rugby league match between England and Australia will take place at Everton Stadium on Nov. 1.
The 53,000-seat venue on the waterfront at Bramley-Moore Dock will host Everton’s soccer matches starting next season, replacing the club’s long-time home of Goodison Park.
The new stadium has been staging test events in recent weeks.
Liam Lawson is set to be dropped by Red Bull after just two races of the 2025 F1 season – with multiple reports indicating Yuki Tsunoda will replace him for his home race in Japan next week.
Lawson has endured a torrid opening two races as Max Verstappen’s teammate: he crashed out of the season-opening Australian GP and qualified last on the grid, twice, in China.
The writing looked somewhat on the wall on Sunday night when Red Bull team principal Christian Horner refused to rule out an early-season swap, with Racing Bulls driver Tsunoda the obvious candidate to step up.
