Inter and AC Milan have officially unveiled the project for a new 71,500-seat stadium that will replace the iconic San Siro. The venue will be named Generali Stadium after Italian insurance company Generali acquired naming rights in a deal worth €650 million ($725 million) over 20 years.
The new stadium is scheduled to be ready for the 2031-2032 season, with construction set to begin in 2028. The current San Siro, built in 1926, will be demolished only after the new arena is operational, allowing fans more time to attend matches at the historic ground.
Designed by Foster + Partners and MANICA, the stadium features a striking X-frame structure and a sweeping double-curved roof. Two seating tiers form a continuous 360-degree bowl, with the Curvas rising as steep single walls at up to 37 degrees inclination to amplify atmosphere. Acoustic engineering aims to capture crowd energy, while enhanced accessibility and modern hospitality concepts cater to all generations of fans.
The two clubs will continue their unique tradition of sharing a home stadium, which began in the late 1940s. The Milan City Council approved the sale of San Siro to Inter and AC Milan in 2025, paving the way for this development. The Generali Stadium is expected to significantly increase match revenues, bringing the clubs closer to European rivals.
San Siro has hosted memorable events beyond football, including the opening ceremony of the 2026 Winter Olympics and concerts by artists such as Bob Marley, the Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Taylor Swift, U2, and Bruce Springsteen.
