The redevelopment project involving Inter Milan and AC Milan has entered a new bureaucratic phase, moving closer to the construction of a new stadium in Milan.
Planning process officially underway
The City of Milan has initiated the Strategic Environmental Assessment (VAS) process for the “GFU San Siro” masterplan, marking the start of formal planning procedures for the project.
This step is expected to lead to the approval of the detailed plan and subsequent technical project approval for the first phase of construction.
Stadium construction timeline
According to the current roadmap, construction of the new stadium and partial demolition of the existing San Siro Stadium is expected to begin after the second half of 2027.
The timeline depends on the completion of planning approvals and environmental assessments over the coming years.
Two-phase development plan
The project is structured in two phases:
- Phase 1: Construction of the new stadium and relocation of infrastructure, including the Patroclo Tunnel
- Phase 2: Redevelopment of the surrounding area, including commercial spaces, green zones, and partial reuse of the existing stadium structure
Long-term vision for the area
The wider redevelopment will include commercial and green spaces, with a significant portion of land dedicated to public use and urban regeneration.
Officials aim to complete the approval process in time to allow construction to begin in the latter half of 2027, marking a major milestone for one of European football’s most iconic stadium projects.
