Here are the declarations of  the Italian Olympic committee CONI, Giovanni Malago has been speaking to Milan-based Corriere della Sera on Milan’s new stadium development.

“I had already expressed support for this project. Now I can express my great satisfaction and congratulate all the protagonists. I back all operations that are linked to building new stadiums, with new philosophies on safety, new concepts of services for families, maybe even with museum activities. The future of Italian football also belongs to privately-owned stadiums.”
