Milan and Inter Tap Foster + Partners and Manica for New 71,500-Seat San Siro Project

Design work hinges on a pending Milan City Council decision on the San Siro land sale.

Overview

  • AC Milan and Inter formally named Foster + Partners and Manica to design a new stadium within a 281,000-square-metre urban regeneration plan.
  • The clubs say the venue will use two inclined rings for optimal sightlines and will prioritize accessibility with dedicated sectors and affordable ticket options.
  • The start of concept and preliminary design is conditioned on completing the acquisition of the Grande Funzione Urbana San Siro area.
  • The council begins debate on Thursday before a planned vote on Monday, which, if affirmative, would let the clubs take ownership, pursue approvals and eventual demolition of the Meazza.
  • Local political positions remain unsettled and residents raised concerns at a joint municipal meeting, while multiple legal challenges are anticipated if the project advances.
