Milan stadium, Gravina: ‘We are all anxious but also confident for the future of Meazza’.

Milan, April 10 (LaPresse) – ‘San Siro? We are all anxious, worried, but also confident. I recently saw Minister Abodi. I believe there is an idea to accelerate this path, which concerns not only Milan, but the whole plan of infrastructures and facilities in our country’. This was said by the FIGC president Gabriele Gravina speaking on the sidelines of the ‘Il Foglio a San Siro’ event, regarding the future of the Meazza. ‘We can no longer disregard football as a sport, as a moment of hospitality, of livability, of a serene and peaceful environment and not have the place where we can play and develop this wonderful dimension linked to welcoming and knowing how to relate to others,’ he added. On the possibility of no longer having a stadium of 70,000 spectators. ‘This is not for me to evaluate. You have to put together the interests of history, the historical memory, the business interests, the interests of the clubs, the interests of the administrations. There has been a splendid response from the city of Bologna where the owners, although aware of the greater burden of investment to modernise the old stadium in the centre of Bologna, preferred to proceed with a renovation. I do not enter into the merits of knowing or wanting to combine these two aspects. What is important is that there is still a place that gives the sense of hospitality in a broad sense,' he explained. ‘Unfortunately Italy, I'm talking about our country, not just Milan, is very backward compared to the rest of Europe, I would even say the whole world,’ Gravina concluded.
