Everton’s new Bramley Moore Dock Stadium has been partly flooded ahead of its completion in the coming months.
The Toffees are expected to make the move from their iconic Goodison Park home at the start of the 2025-26 season.
The new 52,888 seater stadium is set to be completed by the end of the year and at least three test events will follow in the early months of 2025.
However, the club looks to have been dealt a blow after a video appeared on social media and it shows one of the stands flooded amid recent downpour.
The clip, which has attracted interest from Everton supporters on X, appears to show rain making its way through a leaky roof, drenching the bottom of the stand in the process.

Fans’ concerns could be eased by the fact the stadium has been built to withstand floods for up to 100 years.
Colin Chong, the project’s development director said in 2021: ‘In 60 years time, the climate could be a completely different climate to what we have today.
‘We have a number of consultants who forecast what the potential climate could be in 60 or 100 years, and take into account global warming and other stuff. It’s a bit of a dark art, having said that you have to plan ahead.’
He added: ‘We are actually probably building one of the most complex projects in one of the most difficult locations.
‘It’s in a world heritage site, it’s in a floodplain, it’s in a docklands environment which is used to control the Leeds-Liverpool canal there – and we literally have to raise the footprint of the stadium by over a metre to create a new level if you want to call it that, where hopefully the experts will have got it right.
‘The rest of Liverpool could flood but the football stadium should be ok!’
Everton will leave their iconic Goodison Park home at the end of the current season
Everton will be hoping to still be in the Premier League once they move to their new stadium at the start of next season.
