San Siro Prepares for Last Dance with Winter Olympics' Opening Ceremony
The San Siro stadium will host the 2026 Winter Olympics opening ceremony before its planned demolition to make way for a new 71,500-seat stadium and redevelopment.
- On Friday, San Siro stadium in Milan will host the 2026 Winter Olympics opening ceremony, introducing the Milan-Cortina 2026 Games with an athletes' parade across four clusters.
- Milan city approved a 197-million-euro land sale enabling Inter Milan, football club, and AC Milan, football club, to plan a modern 71,500-capacity stadium west of the current site.
- Long ago the San Siro stadium opened on September 19, 1926 and has hosted World Cup, European Championship matches, and concerts by artists from Bob Marley to Beyonce.
- Once the replacement is finished, San Siro stadium is slated for near-total demolition to make way for parkland, offices, and entertainment uses, after UEFA denied it the 2027 Champions League final.
- The final stadium project remains far from city approval, and local and national politicians blocked a 2023 plan; the clubs target completion by the end of 2030 amid local elections next year.
