Arena Fonte Nova is a modern multi-purpose football stadium located in Salvador, the capital of the Brazilian state of Bahia. The stadium was built on the site of the former Estádio Octávio Mangabeira, commonly known as the old Fonte Nova Stadium.
The original stadium was demolished in 2010, and a completely new arena was constructed to meet international standards for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. The new stadium officially opened in 2013, featuring modern architecture, improved spectator facilities, and advanced infrastructure.
Today, Arena Fonte Nova is one of the most modern stadiums in Brazil and serves as the home ground of Esporte Clube Bahia. The stadium also hosts football matches, cultural events, concerts, and international sporting competitions.
Arena Fonte Nova has hosted numerous major sporting and entertainment events, including:
2014 FIFA World Cup matches
2013 FIFA Confederations Cup matches
Copa América matches
Brazilian Série A league games
International concerts and cultural events
During the 2014 FIFA World Cup, the stadium hosted several group-stage matches and a Round of 16 match, bringing global attention to the venue.
Arena Fonte Nova features modern facilities designed to meet international stadium standards:
Fully covered seating areas with improved spectator comfort
VIP lounges and corporate hospitality suites
Media and broadcasting infrastructure
Restaurants, retail spaces, and fan zones
Advanced security and access control systems
The stadium also incorporates sustainable design features such as rainwater reuse systems and energy-efficient infrastructure.
Modern football stadiums such as Arena Fonte Nova require high-performance lighting systems capable of meeting professional competition and broadcast requirements.
Typical stadium lighting applications include:
High-power LED sports floodlights for the playing field
Uniform illumination levels compliant with FIFA and television broadcast standards
Low-glare lighting design for optimal visibility for players and spectators
Energy-efficient lighting systems for night matches and large events
Advanced LED stadium lighting solutions provide superior brightness, improved lighting uniformity, and lower energy consumption, making them the preferred choice for modern football stadiums worldwide. ⚽💡
With the growing popularity of nighttime sports events, professional competitions demand higher lighting quality. The glare from traditional fixtures can no longer meet athletes’ expectations for sensory experience. Leveraging breakthroughs in MECREE’s sports lighting technology, our precise light control and anti-glare designs enable athletes to perform at their peak and enjoy an exceptional sports experience.
Issues caused by unnecessary nighttime lighting, such as light pollution and light trespass, are increasingly concerning and have led to rising public complaints. Amid growing environmental awareness, lighting designers must prioritize controlling “Light Pollution” and “Light Trespass.” We are committed to addressing this challenge through innovative optical technologies.
Currently common traditional stadium lights model for some international stadiums as below:
MVF406/1800W, HNF003, MVF401, MVF403, MVF024, EF-2000, YOA56305, YOAX56400, 2kW: HQI-TS 2000WDS, 2kW: HQI-TS 1000WDS, MHN-SA 2KW 400V/956, MHN-SB/HO 2KW 400V/956, LPW2000M/D, LPW1000MB/L, LPP2000MHN-SA, LPP2000MHN-SB.
There is big problem that traditional lamps can not cannot meet the needs of 4K and 8K high-definition broadcast and huge energy consumption.
With the strengthening of environmental lighting awareness and the pursuit of high-quality lighting, there is a trend to replace traditional lamps by high quality of LED Stadium Lights.
MECREE has launched the following series of LED Sport Stadium Lighting:
MECREE’s specially engineered precision lighting control is designed to meet the needs of such users. The polarized light range of 65-73° is defined as the P73-L and A65 series products, which deliver an unparalleled visual experience while offering access to thousands of IES profiles.
Our precisely engineered optics of polarized light aim light directly onto the field of play, to shine uniformly and to minimize glare. Outdoor venues benefit from spill light control, no more skyglow and no more complaints from the neighbors.
1. Such light shield is useless,just misleading customers.
2. As tested it will cause 30% reduction of light output
3. While 70% still have high overflow
4. Unbearable strong glare
5. Waste energy,outdated reflective technology
The power supply and lamp body can be mounted separately, reducing the withstand weight of the lamp pole and facilitating maintenance.
Customized crossarms are available to meet all your existing old poles without replacing the main rod, crossarms bolt directly to light pole, easy and accurate installation saves time, ensures performance, safety and reliability,also lower the budget.
In current sports lighting projects, high-altitude light calibration is recognized as a major efficiency bottleneck. The process carries high safety risks, is prone to aiming deviations, and involves cumbersome installation and removal procedures, making it difficult to achieve the required uniformity.
MECREE’s innovative laser aiming mount was designed precisely to address these issues. It revolutionizes the workflow through three key advantages:
Easy Installation: With a simple design, it allows rapid mounting and dismounting, significantly lowering the operational threshold.
Precise Aiming: Ensures accurate laser alignment, fundamentally guaranteeing uniform illumination and compliance with lighting standards.
Efficient Operation: Reduces labor and time costs by up to 80%. Calibrating 200 fixtures at height previously took 20 days; now the same workload can be completed in just 4 days.
Choosing MECREE means choosing a safer, more precise, and highly efficient sports lighting solution.
