One of soccer's most iconic cathedrals
The San Siro, officially named Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, has been Inter Milan's home since 1947 and ranks among the most famous stadiums in world soccer. With a capacity of 75,817, it is Italy's largest stadium and one of the biggest in Europe. Known as "La Scala del Calcio" (The Opera House of Soccer), the San Siro has witnessed countless iconic moments including four Champions League finals and three European Cup triumphs for Inter.
The stadium was constructed in 1925-26, originally as AC Milan's home, before Inter joined as co-tenants in 1947. Major renovations for the 1990 World Cup added the distinctive third tier supported by eleven cylindrical towers and the characteristic red steel girders of the roof. The stadium's atmosphere on European nights is legendary, with the curva creating some of soccer's most intimidating environments.
Stadium design and features
The San Siro features three tiers divided into four sides: red, green, orange (the only side without a third tier), and blue. The blue sector traditionally houses Inter's most passionate supporters, with the Curva Nord creating exceptional atmosphere during matches. The stadium is classified as UEFA Category Four, reflecting its world-class facilities for major European matches including Champions League fixtures.
Future developments
Inter Milan and AC Milan have received approval to build a new 71,500-capacity stadium adjacent to the current San Siro, with construction expected to begin in 2027 and completion planned for 2031 in time for Euro 2032.
