Iconic San Siro 'stadium can be demolished' for new 60,000 stadium - Italy's heritage authority

The famous San Siro Stadium in Milan is set to be replaced by a new stadium after Italy's heritage authority raised no objections to its demolition.

AC Milan and Inter Milan share the venue, which was built in 1926.

Last year the clubs filed a request to jointly build a new 60,000-seater stadium next to the existing ground.

Although approval from heritage authorities is not the final decision, it is an important step towards implementing the plan.

The San Siro has undergone several redevelopments and only a small remnant of the oldest part of the stadium remains.
