Gates open at 12:00 CEST; the club will stage a pre-match show, present the Serie A trophy at kick-off, and follow with a city parade ending at Piazza del Duomo.
Inter set celebrations for Hellas Verona match as club crowns historic double
Inter confirm a full-day celebration at San Siro on Sunday as the club marks its 21st Scudetto and the Coppa Italia triumph from the 2025-26 season. Kick-off against Hellas Verona is scheduled for 14:00 local time, with stadium gates opening at 12:00 CEST. Fans are being encouraged to arrive early to take in the pre-match ceremony and tifo displays.
What will happen at San Siro
A pre-match show featuring 21 musical acts, sporting icons and media personalities will precede the game. A specially designed tifo will welcome the players, and Inter will present the Serie A trophy immediately after kick-off. The Coppa Italia trophy, already lifted inside the Olimpico, will be included in post-match celebrations on the pitch.
Open-top bus parade and route through Milan
Once on-pitch celebrations conclude, the squad will embark on an open-top bus parade across Milan, culminating in a public celebration at Piazza del Duomo.

Why this double matters
Cristian Chivu delivered a rare domestic double in his first full season as head coach, instantly elevating his standing at the club. Winning both Serie A and the Coppa Italia underlines Inter’s domestic dominance and restores a major competitive edge after recent seasons of transition. This double is a statement for the players, the coaching staff and the board about a clear footballing direction.
Historical context and managerial significance
The feat recalls the last time Inter completed the same double under José Mourinho, but in a very different era. Chivu’s achievement signals a successful managerial transition and vindicates the club’s recent structural choices. For the squad, it translates into momentum and higher expectations heading into European competitions.
Practical information for supporters
Fans attending should plan for heavy crowds: gates open two hours before kick-off, and the pre-match program will make early arrival essential to see the full show. Expect thorough security procedures and controlled access to the pitch area during presentations. Public transport and city streets along the parade route are likely to be congested after the match.
What comes next for Inter
On the pitch, Inter must now pivot from celebration to consolidation: defending the Scudetto, competing in Europe and managing a summer window that will test depth and ambition. Off the pitch, the double boosts commercial appeal and fan engagement, creating a platform for incremental investment and long-term planning. For Chivu and his players, the challenge is to turn this high into sustained excellence rather than a single-season peak.
Final take
Sunday’s spectacle is more than ceremony: it’s a public ratification of a season that reset expectations at Inter.
