Inter and Milan Reveal €1.2bn Generali Stadium Plan to Replace San Siro by 2031-32

AC Milan and Inter Milan have officially unveiled plans for the new Generali Stadium, set to replace the iconic San Siro from the 2031-32 season. The announcement was made at a gala event at Milan’s Castello Sforzesco, where both clubs presented the project sponsored by Generali, Italy’s largest insurance company. The proposed stadium will have a capacity of 71,500 seats and is estimated to cost €1.2 billion (£1bn), shared between the two clubs. The move is part of a broader effort to modernize facilities and increase matchday revenue, as San Siro, despite its historic status, is considered outdated compared to newer European stadiums. However, the plan has sparked controversy, with some fans protesting outside the event and voicing opposition to the demolition of San Siro, which has been home to both clubs since 1926. The clubs argue the new stadium will provide a world-class experience for supporters and boost their competitiveness, but they face the challenge of balancing tradition with progress. The next steps will involve navigating local approvals and addressing fan concerns as they move toward a new era.
