Bramley-Moore Dock to host rugby league world champions
- Published
Everton's new Bramley-Moor Dock stadium has been named as a host venue for rugby league world champions Australia's tour of England this autumn.
The 52,888-capacity ground will stage the second Test of the three-game series on Saturday. 1 November, with Wembley stadium and Headingley in Leeds as venues for the other two fixtures.
The Kangaroos' visit to England will be their first since 2003, with all matches set to be shown live on the BBC, and will be the first non-footballing event at Everton's new multi-purpose home.
The club's current home Goodison Park staged four Australia matches in the early part of the 20th century, including the Kangaroos' first-ever tour of England in 1908.
Everton's new home, which held its second test event last weekend, is also one of 10 venues across the UK and Ireland chosen to host games during Euro 2028.
