AC Milan is reportedly considering renaming the Curva Sud of the San Siro stadium after club legend Franco Baresi. The Italian club has not yet made an official announcement, but discussions are said to be ongoing, according to multiple Italian media reports.
Franco Baresi, who spent his entire career at Milan from 1977 to 1997, is widely regarded as one of the greatest defenders in football history. He won six Serie A titles and three European Cups with the club, and his number 6 jersey was retired in his honor.
The Curva Sud is the traditional home of Milan's most passionate ultras, and renaming it after Baresi would be a significant tribute. The move would follow similar honors given to other club legends, such as the renaming of the Milanello training ground's pitch after Nereo Rocco.
As of August 2, 2026, no official confirmation has been made by the club. Fans and media are awaiting further details, with some suggesting the renaming could be part of the club's plans to modernize the stadium experience.
