Milan and Inter Unfazed by UEFA Deadline: The Quest for a New San Siro Stadium Continues

FolioPitch.com – 12 August 2026 | The news that Milan and Inter are not concerned about the stadium despite the UEFA deadline has sent shockwaves throughout the football community. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the two Italian giants are pressing ahead with their plans to build a new stadium, with a green light possible as early as 2031. This development comes as a welcome relief to fans and supporters who have been eagerly waiting for the completion of the project.

The new San Siro stadium is set to be the crowning jewel of the highly anticipated 2032 European Championship, which will be co-hosted by Italy and Turkey. The event is expected to generate a turnover of €10 billion, making it a lucrative opportunity for the Italian football authorities. However, the risk of setbacks and delays is a major concern, given the tight timeframe and the numerous bureaucratic hurdles that need to be overcome.

Despite the challenges, Milan and Inter are determined to push forward with the project. The clubs have been working tirelessly to finalize the administrative aspects and secure financial backing for the new stadium. The FIGC is expected to announce the five cities chosen to host the European Championship by October 1, with some possible reservations. The outcome of the appeals pending before the Lombardy Regional Administrative Court against the sale of the stadium to the clubs is also expected to be announced between August and September.

The next phase of the project, starting in 2028, will involve the transformation of the current stadium site, including the demolition of the beloved old San Siro. The new stadium is expected to be unveiled as early as October, with the construction work set to begin in March 2027. The UEFA deadline may be looming, but Milan and Inter are undeterred, and their determination to push forward with the project is a testament to their commitment to delivering a world-class stadium for the fans.
