Official: Generali Stadium presented by Inter and Milan, aim to begin construction in 2028

On September 20, 2026, Inter and AC Milan unveiled plans for their new 71,500-seater stadium, Generali Stadium, in the San Siro neighborhood. The innovative design, created by Foster+Partners and MANICA, will feature an X-frame structure and a double-curved roof inspired by Milan's iconic Duomo Cathedral. The stadium will have two seating tiers, providing a continuous 360-degree bowl with excellent sightlines for fans.

The naming rights for the Generali Stadium were recently sold to the Italian insurance company for an annual fee of €26 million, generating a total revenue of €650 million over 25 years. This deal makes the Generali Stadium's revenue second only to Atletico Madrid's agreement with Riyadh Air for the Wanda Metropolitano, which reportedly has a naming rights fee of €28-33 million per year.

While the Generali Stadium will be known as Milano Stadium during European competitions, construction is not set to begin until 2028. The first match at the stadium is expected to take place during the 2031/32 season, slightly delayed from the previous projected timeline of starting construction in 2027. The Generali Stadium is part of a broader urban regeneration project, encompassing 281,000 square meters of new public spaces, green areas, leisure, and retail destinations.
