Brighton plan to build the new stadium at Bennett's Field (left), next to the Amex Stadium

Brighton and Hove Albion have released their plans for Europe's first purpose-built women's football stadium, which will cost £75-80m.

The club say the new stadium will "provide a permanent home and identity for the women's team" in an attempt to drive long-term fan growth.

Located at Bennett's Field, a site adjacent to the Amex Stadium - the home of Brighton's Premier League side - it will hold a minimum capacity of 10,000 and will be connected to the Amex via a bridge walkway.

With work under way on a planning application, the club hope to officially open the stadium for the start of the 2030-31 season.
