AC Milan Inter Plan New 71,500-Seat San Siro Stadium Amid Urban Regeneration

AC Milan and Inter Milan have agreed with architectural firms Foster + Partners and Manica to design a new 71,500-seat stadium, contingent on the city council approving the sale of the San Siro site to the clubs. The iconic San Siro and its grounds, valued at 197 million euros, are planned to be mostly demolished, with the new stadium part of a large urban regeneration project covering over 281,000 square meters. The stadium design will emphasize optimal visibility, high accessibility standards, and include affordable pricing sections. The project aims to have the new stadium ready for Italy co-hosting the 2032 European Championship, with work expected to start in 2027 and completion by 2030. If the deal with the city falls through, both clubs have backup plans to build new stadiums on Milan’s outskirts. Foster + Partners and Manica are renowned for designing major sports venues like Wembley Stadium, Chase Center, and Lusail Stadium.
