AC Milan and Inter unveil new stadium images as San Siro is replaced

Italian giants AC Milan and Inter revealed the first images of their proposed new stadium on October 29, 2026, as the replacement for the iconic San Siro was unveiled following a £543 million naming rights deal. The two clubs had been looking to move away from their traditional home, with plans to demolish the San Siro, initially put on hold, now back on track.

The clubs shared a preview video of the new venue, which is intended to open for the 2031-32 season. The stadium, to be named Generali Stadium, will have its naming rights sold to the Generali brand until 2052. The construction is not set to begin until 2028 and is expected to accommodate 71,500 fans.

The proposed design features an X-frame structure with a double-curved roof, highlighting two distinct curves: one for Inter fans and another for AC Milan supporters. Additionally, the stadium will be designed with versatility in mind, allowing it to host concerts and include public spaces, green areas, as well as leisure and retail facilities.

Originally, AC Milan and Inter planned to begin construction in 2027, with discussions about demolishing the San Siro dating back to 2019. Acknowledging the cultural significance of the San Siro, which was completed in 1926 and augmented with a middle tier and iconic spiral towers in 1955, city authorities had initially ruled against its demolition in 2023. However, the clubs successfully acquired the site in 2025, paving the way for the current demolition plan.

The San Siro stadium was also recently in the news when it was stripped of hosting rights for this season's Champions League final after UEFA raised concerns about ongoing renovation work and its potential impact on the match logistics. The aim remains to prepare the new stadium for hosting matches during Euro 2032, which Italy will co-host with Turkey.
