The official name of the future stadium that will replace the San Siro has been revealed: it will be the Generali Stadium, following the acquisition of the naming rights by the Italian insurance company Generali. The news was announced during a press conference held at the Sforzesco Castle in Milan, where representatives of Inter and AC Milan announced the details of the project that will transform the city's sporting landscape.
The Generali Stadium, scheduled to open in the 2031-2032 season, will feature architecture reminiscent of a bowl raised on a platform, with a hexagonal-shaped exterior that seeks to combine modernity and tradition. It will be built next to the current stadium, maintaining the historic location but with an expanded capacity to 71,500 spectators. The design also contemplates spaces for the modernization of the surrounding area, integrating into an urban regeneration project promoted by both clubs.
The plan contemplates a private investment of approximately 1.2 billion euros, destined for the construction of the new facility and the modernization of the area. Part of the old complex is expected to be used for other uses, although the transformation will involve a major remodeling of one of the most emblematic stadiums in Italian football. The work is scheduled to begin in 2027 and finish in 2031, with the aim of the Generali Stadium being operational before Euro 2032, which will be jointly organized by Italy and Turkey.
The announcement also underlines the commitment of Inter and Milan to the future of football in Milan, seeking not only a new home for their teams but also a space that serves as an engine of urban and social development. With the opening date aligned with the Euro Cup, the stadium will become a symbol of the modernization of sport in the region, offering fans a world-class gaming and infrastructure experience.
