## Key points

- Inter and Milan plan a €1.2bn stadium to replace San Siro.
- The 71,500-seat venue is scheduled to open for 2031-32.
- Inter fans protested the demolition of the historic ground.

## Summary

Inter and Milan have unveiled plans for a new shared stadium, the Generali Stadium, which is due to replace San Siro from the 2031-32 season. The project matters because it will end the use of one of European football’s most iconic grounds, despite opposition from Inter supporters who protested at the launch.

The planned 71,500-seat venue is expected to cost €1.2 billion, with construction due to begin in 2028 on the existing stadium site. Architects Norman Foster and David Manica say its steep-sided design will bring spectators close to the pitch; it is also intended to host NFL games, rugby and concerts. San Siro, opened in 1926, will be largely demolished as work nears completion, and the new ground could host Euro 2032 matches.
