About San Siro#
San Siro, officially known as Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, is a major football stadium in Milan that opened in 1926 and serves as the home ground for both AC Milan and Inter Milan. It is one of Italy’s largest and most historic football venues and has hosted domestic, European and international matches.
The stadium is known for its tiered stands and intense match-day atmosphere when either club plays; it includes club museums and hospitality facilities and regularly stages high-profile fixtures. Visitors often attend matches or take guided stadium tours that include access to key areas such as dressing rooms and the pitch perimeter.
San Siro underwent several renovations, notably ahead of the 1990 FIFA World Cup and in later decades to update spectator facilities and safety systems. The stadium is named in honour of Giuseppe Meazza, a famed Italian footballer.
