Milan and Inter reveal plans for 71,500-seat Generali Stadium

AC Milan and Inter have unveiled the design of their future shared home, with the new venue officially named Generali Stadium. The 71,500-seat arena is planned to replace the iconic San Siro and become a new landmark in Milan.

The stadium’s design has been developed by architecture firms Foster + Partners and MANICA. It will feature a distinctive X-shaped structural frame, a sweeping double-curved roof and two tiers of seating arranged in a continuous 360-degree bowl. The stands behind the goals will have a steep incline of up to 37 degrees, designed to bring supporters closer to the pitch and create an intense matchday atmosphere.

The project also includes a wider urban regeneration plan covering approximately 281,000 square metres. The surrounding district is expected to feature public spaces, green areas, shops and leisure facilities, creating a destination that remains active beyond matchdays. Sustainability features will include photovoltaic technology and naturally ventilated areas.

Generali has secured the stadium’s naming rights and will also become the official insurance partner of both clubs. The partnership forms part of a wider investment intended to strengthen the clubs’ long-term financial position and competitiveness.

Construction is expected to begin in 2028, subject to the necessary approvals, with the first match targeted for the 2031-32 season. Until then, Milan and Inter will continue to play at San Siro, which has hosted generations of supporters and some of Italian football’s most memorable occasions.
