Iconic San Siro to be demolished and replaced by new stadium

The iconic Giuseppe Meazza Stadium, popularly known as the San Siro and home to AC Milan and Inter Milan, will be demolished and replaced by a brand new stadium on the same area of land.

The new stadium will be built in a collaboration between both Serie A clubs and it will become the new home ground for both sides.

The San Siro with a capacity of just over 80,000 was completed in 1926, and Milan’s two major clubs have shared it since 1947.

The new stadium would cost the clubs reportedly €700 million and it should be ready for the 2022-23 season.
