Norman Foster designs the new Inter and AC Milan stadium

Architect Norman Foster, working with Foster + Partners and MANICA, has unveiled the design of the new stadium that Inter and AC Milan will share, with room for 71,500 fans. According to Mundo Deportivo, its silhouette recalls the spires of the Milan Duomo, and it will be called Generali Stadium after the insurer that has agreed the naming rights.

Foster described it to La Gazzetta dello Sport as «monumental and Milanese». The new ground will replace San Siro, the Giuseppe Meazza, which will be demolished, and is being built with the 2031-2032 season in mind, with the aim of hosting Euro 2032 matches co-organised by Italy and Turkey.

The two tiers will form a continuous 360-degree ring, the curves will reach inclines of up to 37 degrees and the concrete exterior in X shapes draws on the Duomo. The project also includes a 281,000 square metre urban regeneration, and the owners, RedBird at Milan and Oaktree at Inter, see it as a strategic investment.
