The Milan City Council approved the sale of the San Siro area to Milan and Inter on Monday, September 29, 2025, with 24 votes in favour and 20 against.
The sale was made possible following the abstentions of most members, reducing the threshold required for a majority vote, which proved vital in getting the proposal over the line.

The amendments to the proposal were discussed, including one for accessibility criteria to be compliant in the new project and initiatives to help boost sustainability.
