Milan Council Approves Sale of San Siro Site to AC Milan and Inter

Opponents may contest the €197 million deal in court, leaving demolition and construction timing uncertain.

Overview

  • City councillors passed the measure after an eleven-hour debate, voting 24–20 with two abstentions at 03:46.
  • AC Milan and Inter will purchase the 28-hectare property, including adjacent parking areas, for €197 million.
  • Plans call for a shared 71,500-seat stadium designed by Foster + Partners and Manica, with a €1.2 billion budget and a 2031 opening target.
  • Opposition groups argue the price is too low and are considering legal challenges that could slow or alter the project.
  • San Siro will host the Milan–Cortina 2026 Olympic opening ceremony, and Milan is confirmed as a Euro 2032 venue, constraining any demolition timeline.
