Everton Football Club is an English professional football club based in Liverpool, that competes in the Premier League, the top flight of English football. However, the club has a strong following in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and even opened an official merchandise store in the city in 2022.
History
The club's connection to Belfast dates back to the early 1900s, when a number of Irish players, including Tom Hickey, joined the team. Hickey was a key player in Everton's first FA Cup win in 1906, and his success helped to attract more Irish fans to the club.
The club's popularity in Belfast grew further in the 1960s, when Everton won the FA Cup three times in a row. This success coincided with the Troubles in Northern Ireland, and many people in Belfast turned to Everton as a way to escape the violence.
Recent years
Everton's popularity in Belfast has continued in recent years, despite the club's struggles on the pitch. In 2022, the club opened an official merchandise store in Belfast, which is the only one outside of England.
The store is located in Castle Lane, and it sells a wide range of Everton merchandise, including shirts, scarves, hats, and souvenirs. The store has been a success, and it has helped to further cement Everton's connection to Belfast.
