when will the san siro be demolished

San Siro is expected to be demolished between April 2031 and May 2032, after a new nearby stadium for AC Milan and Inter is completed and opened.

Current official plan

  • AC Milan and Inter completed the purchase of San Siro from the city in November 2025 and formally confirmed that the stadium will be demolished and replaced with a new arena in the same area.
  • The clubs’ goal is to have the new stadium ready in time to host matches at Euro 2032, which Italy will co‑host with Turkey.

Demolition timeline

  • A detailed roadmap reported in late 2025 sets a public tender for demolition from about October 2030 to March 2031.
  • Actual demolition and partial conservation work on the existing Giuseppe Meazza structure is scheduled from April 2031 to May 2032 (around 14 months).

What happens before demolition

  • The new 71,500‑seat stadium, estimated at roughly €1.2–1.5 billion, is planned to start construction around 2027 and be completed between 2030 and 2031, so Milan and Inter can keep playing at San Siro until then.
  • Only once the new ground is operational will San Siro be closed and dismantled, to avoid the clubs having to move to another temporary city or stadium.

Key uncertainties and debates

  • There is still no absolutely fixed “demolition day”; the dates are part of a project timeline that could shift with planning, financing, or legal challenges.
  • The decision remains highly controversial among fans, locals, and cultural commentators, who see San Siro as a historic icon even though authorities cleared it in the past as not protected heritage, enabling demolition plans to go ahead.

TL;DR: If the current project stays on schedule, San Siro will stand through the late 2020s, with demolition expected to run from spring 2031 to mid‑2032, after the new Milan–Inter stadium opens.
