AC Milan and Inter Unveil Generali Stadium to Replace San Siro

Clubs presented a Foster + Partners/MANICA design, announced a Generali naming‑rights deal, and set a 2031/32 opening target that is contingent on planning approvals.

Overview

  • The clubs unveiled the Generali Stadium on Thursday, October 29, 2026, releasing full designs and images at a joint presentation in Milan.
  • The arena is a two‑tier, 360° bowl for about 71,500 spectators with steep 37° curvas, an X‑frame structure, a double‑curved roof and acoustic and LED features designed to preserve San Siro’s matchday atmosphere.
  • Construction is planned to begin in 2028 with the first match targeted for the 2031/32 season to coincide with Euro 2032, but club officials warned that city approvals and bureaucratic timelines could delay that schedule.
  • The project is anchored by a long‑term naming‑rights agreement with Generali reported in multiple outlets, though published figures for the deal and total redevelopment cost vary across reports.
  • Generali Stadium sits at the centre of a 281,000 m² urban‑regeneration plan that includes public spaces, retail and solar energy measures, and the current San Siro will remain in use during construction before being largely demolished with selected elements kept as a monument.
