Liverpool Exploring Options to Expand Anfield Beyond 60,000 Capacity

Liverpool are weighing up options for their next part of the Anfield expansion project and could seek to increase the club's famous stadium to over 60,000 seats.

The club has a September deadline on an existing planning application to decide whether to push ahead with initial designs to increase the Anfield Road Stand by 4,000 seats (which would take overall capacity to around 59,000) or re-explore even more ambitious options.

Reports including the Times claim that Liverpool's owners Fenway Sports Group (FSG) have been considering a bigger project for some time and have been preparing feasibility studies in recent years to understand whether expanding stadium capacity even further would be viable for the club - and the effect on the surrounding infrastructure.
