AC Milan and Inter Unveil Generali Stadium Plan

A 71,500-seat bowl meant to echo San Siro’s atmosphere is due to be financed mainly by commercial deals tied to a larger district regeneration.

Overview

  • The two clubs publicly presented the Generali Stadium design on Thursday, October 29, 2026, formally naming the new arena and showing plans for a shared home to replace the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.
  • Foster + Partners and MANICA designed an oval, two-tier 71,500-seat bowl with a concrete X-frame, a double-curved roof, steep 37° curvas behind each goal, and an acoustic canopy intended to keep fans close and amplify sound.
  • Clubs say the project will be part of a 281,000-square-metre urban regeneration scheme that adds public space, retail and leisure uses and includes sustainability features such as large rooftop photovoltaic arrays.
  • The naming-rights deal with an insurance partner was announced at the unveiling and has been reported by multiple outlets as roughly $725 million over 20 years, a figure the clubs have not fully itemized or independently confirmed.
  • Construction is slated to begin in 2028 with a target opening in the 2031/32 season for Euro 2032 subject to planning approvals, the current San Siro will remain in use during building, and the proposal has drawn local fan protests over the stadium’s planned demolition.
