An official joint project

Inter and AC Milan officially presented their future shared stadium project on Thursday, according to several media outlets. This new stadium is set to replace San Siro from the 2031/2032 season, reports Gazeta Esportiva.

The complex will be provisionally named Generali Stadium and will have a capacity of 71,500 spectators, the same outlet specifies. The architecture is by Norman, it adds.

The end of a football cathedral

The mythical San Siro, also known as Giuseppe Meazza, is set to be demolished from 2031, according to Voetbalzone and De Telegraaf. AD describes a "mythical" stadium that will make way for this new multi-billion project.

According to Voetbalprimeur, the two Italian clubs will eventually say goodbye to the iconic stadium to move into the Generali Stadium. The first match in the new venue is already being mentioned by the same outlet, without further details.

Reactions and details still awaited

The project was unveiled on Thursday evening, according to Voetbalprimeur and Le Figaro. The latter speaks of the end of "one of the cathedrals of football" in Serie A.

Globo and A Bola also reported the news, accompanied by images and videos of the future facility. The two clubs have not yet officially communicated a precise schedule, beyond the 2031/2032 season mentioned by Gazeta Esportiva.

The presentation of this shared stadium marks a major step for Inter and AC Milan, who have shared San Siro for decades. The next announcements should clarify the financing arrangements and the construction timeline.
