I am a bit confused with this one. I collect football albums ever since 1996 and have every one published since 1990.
The official name of San Siro is actually Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, yet almost every place I look the name San Siro is used. Now in the days Panini made CHL albums I saw that on the pages of Milan or Inter they used the official name (Giuseppe Meazza), maybe because Panini are Italian company. I remember when San Siro was hosting the 2016 CHL final on the official poster and program it said Stadio San Siro (not Giuseppe Meazza). In the 2016 CHL album (first year by Topps) the stadium has a two piece place in the Final section with the name Giuseppe Meazza underneath. Yet in the following albums they changed the name again. The 2019-20 album even had stadium stickers for every team and the ones for Atalanta and Inter had the name Stadio San Siro. The current album: 20-21, don't have stickers for the stadium yet in the Inter page it again says San Siro.
I understand that the unofficial name San Siro is VERY popular, but in official publications such as the CHL albums, shouldn't the OFFICIAL name (Giuseppe Meazza) be used?
I honestly don't know what to call that stadium. Is it Stadio Giuseppe Meazza or Stadio San Siro?
