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

The stadium is expected to be ready for the 2031-2032 season and will replace the iconic San Siro It was an historic day in Milan as Inter and AC Milan have finally unveiled the project for the new stadium that will replace San Siro, the current arena that hosts the home games of both teams. The new San Siro will be named "Generali Stadium" after the Italian insurance company Generali acquired the naming rights of the stadium in a deal worth €650 million ($725 million) over 20 years, according to multiple reports. The Generali Stadium will be ready by the 2031-2032 season, according to the two clubs, just in time for the UEFA 2032 Euro that will be co-hosted by Italy and Turkiye, with construction starting in 2028.

The current San Siro will be demolished only after the new stadium is ready to be used by the teams, giving more time for fans to attend a match in the iconic Italian stadium that was built in 1926. Let's now go into the details of the new arena: According to the joint news release from both clubs, it will be a "71,500-seat stadium designed around one of football's most iconic atmospheres, setting a new standard for the live fan experience".
