The final game on the fate of the new Milan and Inter stadium is carefully watched by the whole system. Not only are the interests of clubs, but also the future of Italian football starting from the European Championship of 2032
The now very long story of San Siro and its destiny comes at the time of truth in an atmosphere from inside or outside. There will be no middle ground in defining the dossier open in 2019, when Milan and Inter presented the first studies for the construction of a new system In the area where the current Meazza resides: inside, in the sense of closing of the operation and by 2031 a new stadium next to today, then shot down, or outside with the clubs that look at the San Donato area where Milan has already started the bureaucratic and administrative process before freezing it again.
Tertium Non Datursaid the Latins. On Milan there are the eyes of all Italian sport and beyond. The Moral Suasion of FIGC and Lega Serie A has turned with the passing of months and years under pressure throughout the field. The latest releases of the Federal President Gabriele Gravina (“The Meazza stadium does not meet the requirements of UEFA to host the European Championship. The wish I feel I will do is that the political part, in agreement with Lnter and Milan, can find the best solution for Milan “) and that of the League, Ezio Maria Simonelli (“Leaving the most high -wicked city in Italy without the Europeans would be an incalculable fool. Throwing this process for ideological issues of low alloy is an own goal”).
The words of UEFA number one had come before, Aleksandr Ceferin (“I think Italian football infrastructures are a shame”) to seal a state of fact: the Italian ball system has already lost a huge amount of trains in recent decades and, now, has come to the last call: either either step away with the times, or it is inexorably destined to decline.
Without a modern Milan and Inter stadium they will not be able to fill the gap that has been excavated with the football locomotives of Europe. And the truth is that Italian football lives historically on the state of well -being of the three great north: the two Milanese and Juventus. Together they conquered 75 of the 123 badges assigned from 1898 to the present day, 60 out of 79 focusing only on the period after the Second World War. Therefore, either Milan restarts or the whole system suffers. A system that in the last decade has seen 153 new stadiums in Europe is born, of which only two in Italy and which does not organize a great football event from the 1990 World Championships.
The 2032 European Championship, which was to be all Italian and was shared with Turkey precisely because the FIGC was unable to guarantee the presence of ten structures up to par (sic!) Is the last useful window. Behind Milan there are the stories of Rome (now ultradhecen), Naples (where De Laurentiis and the Municipality have opposite visions), Florence (construction site open with public money refusing the private investments of Comisso), Bologna (dossier on the table without concrete steps for years) and so on.
Are you interested in? It should, even if it is only a ball. After all, football in Italy moves cheap interests for 7 billion euros (turnover 2024 certified by the FIGC Football report) with an impact on the estimated GDP in 12.4 billion. It is now an industrial supply chain, not just sports or entertainment. He struggles to stand on his legs for errors of those who governs him, but also because he is asked to fight with sprinkled weapons. The thought of that sector is that the new stadiums, functional and accompanied by structures that make sustainable (private) onerosis investments are the first and indispensable keystone. Elsewhere they did it a quarter of a century ago: England, Spain, Germany, France but also Poland, Türkiye and the realities that have now passed us. The stake of the game on San Siro – for Italian sport – is this: take or leave.
