Milan and Inter prepare to demolish San Siro for multibillion-euro new stadium
AC Milan and Inter are preparing to demolish the historic San Siro stadium and build a new venue costing billions of euros. An Al Jazeera report examines what is driving the clubs' American owners, how the sale deal came together and who stands to gain, while some fans object to the plan.
Why it matters
San Siro is shared by both clubs, so its demolition affects one of Europe's best-known football venues and the identity of two clubs with a large following in the Arab world. The project also reflects a growing view among major clubs that a stadium is a source of revenue as much as a sporting facility.
Background
San Siro, in the city of Milan, is the stadium that AC Milan and Inter share for their home matches. It is closely tied to the history of both clubs and their fans, so any talk of demolishing it draws wide debate among supporters.
