Liverpool FC is set for a major development this summer with a significant £20 million revamp of their academy facilities. This investment aims to enhance their training infrastructure, especially for youth development, as the club continues its commitment to world-class standards following the construction of the AXA Training Centre in 2020.

The centerpiece of this redevelopment will be a state-of-the-art indoor dome built over the existing main pitch at the academy. This innovative addition will provide Liverpool’s academy players with their first full-sized indoor pitch, enabling year-round training regardless of weather conditions. The dome will also include upgraded medical and sports science facilities to ensure the academy players receive elite-level support on par with the first team.

The £20 million development highlights Liverpool's strategic focus on nurturing future talent and demonstrates the club’s dedication to maintaining a top-tier development environment as part of its broader ambition to compete at the highest levels of football. This move follows on from the £50 million AXA Training Centre, which replaced the historic Melwood training ground and provides comprehensive facilities for both the first team and U23 squads.

By investing in their academy infrastructure, Liverpool aims to further solidify their status as a club committed to long-term success through player development, reinforcing the pathway from youth ranks to professional football.
