AC Milan and Inter Milan have received a significant boost in their plans to construct a new stadium, following a crucial ruling by the Milan Regional Administrative Court (TAR). The court rejected all appeals against the sale of the San Siro area, effectively clearing the way for the two Serie A giants to proceed with their ambitious project.
The decision marks a major step forward for the clubs, who have been working towards replacing the iconic Stadio Meazza. Concerns had previously been raised that legal challenges could delay or even halt the development, but Tuesday’s ruling has removed a key obstacle.
Project Timeline and Ambitions
With the legal hurdle now overcome, Milan and Inter are pressing ahead with their timeline. The clubs aim to unveil a rendering of the proposed new stadium before November this year. They confirmed the purchase of the Stadio Meazza area in November 2025, a move that effectively began the countdown to the construction phase.
Construction work for the new facility is anticipated to commence next summer. The clubs are hopeful that the stadium will be completed by 2031. This completion date is strategically important, as the new venue is being considered to host matches for Euro 2032, which Italy will co-host with Turkiye.
Euro 2032 Implications
The urgency for a new stadium is partly driven by the current Stadio Meazza’s condition. The existing stadium reportedly failed UEFA inspections for the Euro 2032 tournament. Consequently, the proposed new stadium represents Milan’s only viable venue option for hosting matches during the prestigious international competition.
This development underscores the clubs’ commitment to modernising their infrastructure and ensuring a state-of-the-art facility for future generations of fans and major football events.
