Stadio Giuseppe Meazza
Stadio Giuseppe Meazza stands in Milan’s San Siro district, serving as a multipurpose stadium and home for two football clubs. It opened in 1926 as AC Milan’s ground. The city acquired the venue during the 1930s, and it became a shared home for AC Milan and Inter Milan in 1947.
Spiralling ramps rise around the towering structure, giving the stadium its distinctive architectural shape. A renovation before the 1990 World Cup added a third tier and brought capacity close to 100,000 spectators. Around 76,000 seated fans now fill the venue for football matches and major events. Bob Marley, the Rolling Stones, and Bruce Springsteen have all performed beneath its tiers.
Football culture gives the stadium the nickname La Scala del Calcio, linking it with Milan’s Teatro alla Scala. World Cup matches in 1934 and 1990, plus the 1980 European Championship, brought international football here. A 2009 rugby match between Italy and New Zealand drew more than 81,000 spectators. Nations League football also reached the ground with its 2021 final.
