Antalya Stadium is a state-of-the-art football-specific arena and the home of Antalyaspor. Its construction began in 2013 and it was officially inaugurated on October 26, 2015. Located in the Yeşilbayır neighborhood of the Aksu district, approximately 15 km northeast of central Antalya, the stadium was built to replace Antalyaspor’s former home, the aging Antalya Atatürk Stadium. Designed as a modern, UEFA Category 4 venue, it symbolizes the club’s and the city’s ambitions on the national and international stage.
The stadium’s architecture is inspired by the region’s natural beauty, with its façade designed to evoke the waves of the Mediterranean Sea and the surrounding Taurus Mountains.
The stadium is the proud home of Antalyaspor, a club with a growing national profile and a distinctive identity.
Founded: 1966
Nickname: “Akrepler” (The Scorpions), representing the team’s resilient and potent character.
Digital Pioneer: The club was one of the first sports clubs in Turkey to surpass 100,000 followers on its main social media page, highlighting its modern fan engagement strategy and popularity beyond the city limits.
Notable Former Player – Rüştü Reçber: The legendary Turkish goalkeeper, who reached the semi-finals of the 2002 FIFA World Cup with the Turkish national team, played for Antalyaspor early in his career. His remarkable journey later saw him sign for the world-famous FC Barcelona in 2003.
Antalyaspor and its new stadium gained global attention in 2015 with the historic signing of Samuel Eto’o Fils. The Cameroonian superstar’s arrival marked a watershed moment for the Turkish Süper Lig.
Global Icon: Eto’o, a former captain of the Cameroonian national team, became the first Cameroonian to reach 1 million followers on his main social media page.
World Champion Pedigree: Before joining Antalyaspor, Eto’o had achieved the pinnacle of club football. While playing for FC Internazionale Milano in 2010, he won the FIFA Club World Cup, scoring a goal in the final against TP Mazembe of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Legacy in Antalya: Eto’o’s tenure brought unprecedented global spotlight to both the club and the new Antalya Stadium. He ended his illustrious professional career in Qatar in 2019.
Antalya Stadium is renowned for its aesthetic design and modern infrastructure:
UEFA Category 4: The highest stadium category, enabling it to host UEFA Champions League and Europa League finals (with temporary adjustments).
Unique Roof Design: A striking, asymmetric cable-net roof covers all seats, providing shelter while allowing natural light to reach the pitch.
Pitch: A state-of-the-art hybrid grass (Desso GrassMaster) system.
Atmosphere: The steep, single-tier stands are designed to create an intense and loud atmosphere, with fans close to the pitch.
LED Technology: The stadium is equipped with modern LED systems for advertising, scoreboarding, and facade lighting. While the specific supplier details for the inaugural installation are not always publicly disclosed in contracts, major international suppliers like Samsung or Leyard/Planar** are commonly involved in such high-profile Turkish stadium projects. The club or stadium management would hold the official supplier information.
Since its opening, the stadium has hosted:
Süper Lig Matches: The primary home of Antalyaspor in Turkey’s top division.
European Competition: Hosted Süper Lig clubs in UEFA Europa League qualifiers.
Turkish National Team: Has been selected as a venue for friendly matches and UEFA Nations League games.
Inauguration Match: The opening in 2015 was a landmark event for the city, celebrated with a major match.
Situated near Antalya Airport, the stadium is part of a larger planned sports complex. While slightly distant from the city center, it is easily accessible by major highways and public transport.
Antalya Stadium represents more than just a sports venue; it is a symbol of Antalya’s modern growth and Antalyaspor’s rise. From its world-class design to its association with global stars like Eto’o, the stadium has successfully put Antalya on the map of international football destinations, providing the “Scorpions” with a den worthy of their sting.

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.
Through lighting simulation calculations and programming of light show designs, solutions oriented towards either visual effects or cost-effectiveness are provided. Design of Lighthouse, parameters required for building foundation, (axial force, shear force, bending force). High power generator set supporting,circuit design service,cable supply. We are your best supply chain manager! We are committed to providing you with a one-stop solution.
