According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Stadio Meazza will be entirely demolished as part of the project for Inter and Milan‘s new stadium which should be ready for 2027-28.
Inter and Milan have agreed to entirely demolish their historical home, as La Gazzetta dello Sport reports.
The two Milanese sides approved the project called ‘The Cathedral’ at the end of 2021, which must now go through a public debate. There will be ten meetings over the next month when the two clubs will explain their plans for the stadium and the requalification of the San Siro area.
The Cathedral should be built meters away from the Stadio Meazza and the initial project only planned a partial demolition of the current stadium.
However, in order to decrease cement content in the area and present a more sustainable and ‘greener’ project, the two clubs have agreed to demolish San Siro from 2027-2028 when the new stadium is ready.
The building of a new stadium in the area of San Siro remains the clubs’ priority, although Sesto San Giovanni is still an option for Milan and Inter who could move just outside Milan in case the Cathedral project is not approved after the public debate or if it will take too long to begin works.
That’ll be a sad day, iconic stadium
I would have loved if each club had their own stadium.
Why does not each club has its own stadium?
That would be much appreciated if someone from the editors to point out the reasons
I’ll be amazed if it’s ready in my lifetime (I’m 45).
@MC Miker….forget it. Ain’t happening. This is Italy. More chance of getting Putin to cede Ukraine than it is to get local councils to cede stadia!
Hello Recoba, this is what Ivan Gazidis said at the end of August: “It is the dream of many fans, but you have to deal with the reality of a prohibitive investment for the financial balance of a single club.” We often point it out in articles about the matter. Regards, Lorenzo.

@ Lorenzo
Well noted, thanks for your prompt response.
Iconic stadium, but nothing lasts forever.
However, this is Italy, so expect them to still be playing in the current stadium 30 years from now.
