Deputy Italian Prime Minister Matteo Salvini has shared his desire to see new stadiums built across Italy, not just in Milan.

“We need new stadiums, not only in Milan but also every other Italian city. I say this as Minister of the Interior. I’m a romantic, but the city of Milan needs a new stadium. If San Siro then stays as a museum or an arena for concerts, that’s fine,” he said in an interview with Lady Radio.

“As a minister I am tired of committing thousands and thousands of women and men every Sunday in uniform to check what happens outside stadiums and inside them with old systems, without cameras, without exits or emergency access points.”

He concluded by revealing that new laws are in the works that will help teams out in building new stadiums.

“We’re working on a law that makes it quicker, easier and less expensive to build new sports facilities because families have the right to go and see a game in peace.”
