Manica ‘proud’ to design new stadium for ‘exceptional’ Milan in San Donato | OneFootball

Manica will design AC Milan’s new stadium in the San Francesco area and the firm has now commented on the matter. The Rossoneri’s idea is to start the construction at the end of 2025, with the inauguration in 2028 or 2029.

Gazzetta Dello Sport revealed the details of Milan’s stadium project this morning (read about it here) as the Rossoneri have chosen Manica as the architect. The capacity will be 70k and the stadium will have two rings as well as the biggest screens in Italy.

Speaking to the newspaper, Manica commented on the project and the fact that they have been given the responsibility to design it all: “We are proud to have been chosen to create the design of the new stadium. We will work to ensure that the outcome of the project is worthy of this exceptional club, the city and all the fans around the world.”

As stated at the start, Milan intend to begin construction at the end of next year and they could play their first game in 2028 or 2029. In addition to the actual stadium, there will also be a large square (ideally as large as Piazza Duomo) with restaurants, bars and clubs by the main entrance.
