Inter and AC Milan unveil plans for new 71,500-seat Generali Stadium to replace iconic San Siro

Inter and AC Milan unveiled plans for a 71,500-seat Generali Stadium to replace San Siro, opening in 2031–32 ahead of Euro 2032.

Inter and AC Milan have officially unveiled their joint project to build a new 71,500-seat stadium to replace the iconic San Siro. The venue, named Generali Stadium after Italian insurance company Generali's €650 million naming rights deal over 20 years, will be ready for the 2031–32 season, timed to coincide with UEFA Euro 2032, which Italy will co-host with Turkey. Construction begins in 2028, and the current San Siro will only be demolished after the new stadium is operational.

Designed by Foster + Partners and MANICA—the architects behind London's Wembley—the new arena features a striking X-frame structure and double-curved roof. It will have two continuous seating tiers forming a 360-degree bowl, with steep Curva sections rising at either end at inclinations up to 37 degrees to amplify atmosphere. The design emphasizes acoustic engineering to capture crowd energy and includes enhanced accessibility and modern hospitality.

Both clubs will continue sharing the stadium, a tradition dating to the late 1940s when Inter joined AC Milan at San Siro. The project represents a major investment by their owners, RedBird and Oaktree, aimed at increasing match revenues and strengthening competitiveness against European rivals. San Siro, built in 1926, has hosted countless memorable events beyond football, including the 2026 Winter Olympics opening ceremony and legendary concerts.
