Milan President: It is very difficult to start the new stadium project and San Siro does not meet the requirements of top competitions

Milan President Scaloni talked about the future of the San Siro Stadium at the Bocconi University Football Business Forum.

Scaloni said: "It is very difficult to start the new stadium project because, in addition to bureaucracy, people are not willing to build a new stadium out of nostalgia and memories of San Siro. Therefore, municipalities are also unwilling to build a new stadium."

"Perhaps because TV shows the situation abroad, people began to realize that although San Siro is very Great, but lacking in terms of comfort, so the final stages of the new stadium project began. It was clear that building a public stadium in a city like Milan is complicated, even outside of Italy, so bureaucracy played only a minor role in the process."

"Redbirds are experienced in the construction of sports facilities around the world. We want to build the best stadium in the world. Now if one goes to the San Siro, it is almost empty and it is almost scary. We would like to have a place where events can be held every day or at least a place with restaurants and reception facilities. "

"At the moment, the San Siro does not meet the requirements of the top competition. It’s good, after all, we have shared this stadium for 70 years. We chose a globally renowned architectural firm and followed the model of England’s Wembley Stadium: demolishing the old stadium and building a new stadium next to it. In addition, we will not completely demolish the Meazza stadium, but retain a part of it as a memorial.”
