History

In 1995 the French government and French Football Federation broke a decades-long pause by launching Stade de France for the 1998 FIFA World Cup. Finished in January 1998, the €364 million, 81,338-seat arena anchored the Plaine Saint-Denis regeneration and showed how a mega-stadium could transform a city district. Milan’s AC and Inter, with Generali’s €650 million naming-rights deal, now follow that French precedent for a 71,500-seat arena.
