Inter Milan and AC Milan have unveiled Generali Stadium, the 71,500-seat venue set to replace the storied San Siro as the shared home of both clubs.
The stadium is designed by Foster + Partners and MANICA, the team behind London’s Wembley Stadium, led by Lord Norman Foster and David Manica. The design features a concrete X-frame structure running from naturally ventilated colonnades through the facade to support the roofline, a double-curved roof with integrated photovoltaic panels, and two seating tiers forming a continuous 360-degree bowl. At each end, steep “Curvas” rise to a seating incline of up to 37 degrees, with acoustic design intended to amplify crowd noise. Diamond-shaped entrance structures lead to panoramic concourses.
Insurer Generali has taken the stadium’s naming rights in a deal reported at €650 million (roughly $725 million) over 20 years. Generali is also the official insurance partner of both clubs. The stadium sits at the center of a 281,000-square-meter urban regeneration scheme that will include public space, green areas, and leisure and retail space, meant to operate year-round rather than only on match days.
In a joint statement, the clubs said: “For AC Milan and Internazionale, Generali Stadium represents far more than an infrastructure project. It is an investment in sporting ambition, in future generations of supporters and in the long-term future of both clubs.
“It is the platform that will help sustain growth, strengthen competitiveness, and create new opportunities on and off the pitch. Above all, it is a commitment to the people who will fill it.”
The project is backed by the clubs’ owners, RedBird Capital Partners and Oaktree, part of Brookfield’s credit platform. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2028, with the first match targeted for the 2031/32 season. That timeline is built around Italy and Türkiye’s co-hosting of UEFA Euro 2032. The existing San Siro, in continuous use since 1926, will be demolished only once the new stadium is ready to open.
