Inter Milan has confirmed detailed plans for a grand celebration to mark their 2025-26 Serie A and Coppa Italia double. The festivities will take place during and after their upcoming Serie A match against Hellas Verona on Sunday, May 18, 2026, at San Siro, culminating in an open-top bus parade through Milan. This rare double, achieved under head coach Cristian Chivu in his first full season, echoes a feat last accomplished by the club under Jose Mourinho.
Pre-Match Festivities at San Siro
The club has advised supporters attending the final home game of the season against Hellas Verona to arrive early to fully participate in the announced celebrations. Gates at the Stadio Meazza will open at 12:00 local time (11:00 BST), two hours before the 14:00 kick-off. A special pre-match ceremony will be hosted by Daniele Battaglia and Elenoire Casalengo.

Trophy Presentations and Post-Match Celebrations
Immediately following kick-off, the Inter squad will be presented with the official Serie A trophy on the pitch. While the Coppa Italia trophy has already been lifted by the team, it will also be brought out during the post-match celebrations to allow fans to share in the full glory of both triumphs.
