Bellefield, in West Derby, Liverpool, is Everton FC's former training ground.

Bellefield had been Everton FC's training ground since 1946.[1] It was purchased in 1965 and officially opened on 12 July 1966.

The Brazil national football team used it as a training base in the 1966 World Cup.

On Tuesday, 9 October 2007, Bellefield training ground held its last senior first team training session and moved to Finch Farm in Halewood a day later.[2]

Bellefield's future

Having vacated Bellefield to the new training ground, Everton's plans were to have the Bellefield estate redeveloped for housing, which would in turn contribute financially to a proposed new club stadium. As reported in the Liverpool Daily Post[3] on 11 June 2008 Liverpool councillors rejected Everton's plans.
