"A new San Siro is on the horizon, with Milan's two giants on the cusp of upgrading the iconic stadium. Ranked at no.10 in FourFourTwo's list of the best stadiums in the world, the venue is an icon of Italy, standing out on the horizon for its distinctive slatted roof and turrets but as the old ground approaches its 100th birthday this December, time is running out to see a game there."
"In September 2025, the Milan City Council sold the San Siro and its surrounding area to the Milan clubs: up until then, the two rivals weren't able to enjoy some of the financial benefits that come from having one of the most recognisable venues in European football. Money is the biggest factor when it comes to a new stadium which, again, both clubs are set to share and not just in terms of getting more fans through the turnstiles."
"Modernising the matchday experience at a new ground would create more hospitality options, introduce more premium seating, and create the possibility for more non-football events, such as concerts. There's also the possibility of naming rights, too, to bring in an extra buck: plenty of stadiums in Europe now have sponsorship but given that neither club owned the San Siro until recently, it wasn't possible up until now."
The Milan City Council sold the San Siro and surrounding area to AC Milan and Inter in September 2025, unlocking previously unavailable financial benefits for both clubs. A shared new stadium is planned to modernise the matchday experience, increasing hospitality, premium seating, and capacity for non-football events such as concerts. Naming rights and other commercial revenue streams will become possible now that the clubs own the ground. The redevelopment aims to elevate Italian stadium standards to match venues like Wembley, Wanda Metropolitano and Allianz Arena, creating opportunities to host major UEFA finals again. The project also promises urban regeneration around the site.
