AC Milan and Inter plan to build a new stadium alongside San Siro before partially demolishing the existing ground. The clubs now own San Siro after buying it from Milan city council.

The replacement stadium will seat 71,500 spectators, including more than 13,000 hospitality seats, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport. Its design, by Foster + Partners and Manica, is due to be unveiled by the end of October.

How Will Milan and Inter’s New Stadium Compare With San Siro?

San Siro currently has a capacity of around 75,800 spectators. The new stadium will be smaller, but its more than 13,000 hospitality seats could provide Milan and Inter with greater premium-revenue opportunities.

San Siro demolition work could begin in the second half of 2027 after the necessary planning and environmental procedures are completed. Reuters reported that the old ground will be demolished except for a heritage section of its second tier.

The redevelopment follows the clubs’ €197 million purchase of San Siro on 5 November 2025, six weeks after the city council approved the sale in a 24-20 vote, with two abstentions. Milan and Inter will play at the current stadium until the new one is ready.

Why the New San Siro Must Be Ready for Euro 2032

Construction is planned to begin in the second half of 2027, with the stadium due to open in 2031. La Gazzetta also reports that the new stadium is being targeted for completion by June 2031 ahead of Euro 2032, which Italy is co-hosting with Turkey.

Milan mayor Beppe Sala has urged the clubs to publish the stadium renderings quickly, saying he hopes they will “guarantee that the stadium will be ready for the 2032 European Championship”, according to Gazzetta.

Milan is one of 13 candidate cities put forward by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC), covering 16 stadiums.

Five cities will be selected, with UEFA conducting compliance checks against 120 operational requirements before the FIGC makes its decision.

Milan’s place has not been confirmed.
