Bakı Olimpiya Stadionu (Baku Olympic Stadium) is the national stadium of Azerbaijan and the undisputed centerpiece of the country’s sporting infrastructure. Located in the capital city of Baku, this colossal arena was built to host the continent’s biggest events and symbolize Azerbaijan’s ambitions on the global stage.
Full Address: Heydar Aliyev Avenue, Baku, Azerbaijan.
Country: Azerbaijan
Location: Baku, on the shores of the Caspian Sea
Capacity: 68,000 spectators (the largest stadium in the South Caucasus region)
Construction Started: June 2011
Opened: 6 March 2015 (with a grand opening ceremony)
Main Use: Football, Athletics, Major Ceremonies & Concerts
Primary Tenant: The stadium is a national facility. Its main tenants are the Azerbaijan national football team and the national athletics federation. It does not have a permanent club tenant but is used for major domestic cup finals.
The stadium was designed from the outset to host world-class events and has quickly compiled a prestigious history.
UEFA EURO 2020: The stadium’s landmark event was serving as one of the host venues for the UEFA European Football Championship 2020 (held in 2021). It hosted three group stage matches and one quarter-final. The matches featured national teams including Wales, Switzerland, Turkey, and a memorable group stage game where Denmark played after the traumatic events of Christian Eriksen’s collapse.
Azerbaijan National Team: It is the primary home of the Azerbaijan national football team for all major FIFA World Cup and UEFA European Championship qualifying matches, providing the team with a world-class home fortress.
2019 UEFA Europa League Final: The stadium hosted the 2019 UEFA Europa League Final between English clubs Chelsea and Arsenal, a major milestone that brought a premier European club competition final to Baku.
2015 European Games: It was the central venue for the inaugural 2015 European Games, hosting the spectacular opening and closing ceremonies as well as the athletics competitions.
The stadium is an architectural icon for modern Baku.
Design Inspiration: Its design, by the renowned architecture firms Heerim Architects and TOCA, is inspired by Azerbaijan’s cultural symbols, including the Qabala violin and the waves of the Caspian Sea. The semi-transparent facade, illuminated at night, creates a stunning visual effect.
UEFA Category 4 / Elite Stadium: It holds the highest UEFA stadium rating (Category 4, now “Elite”), meaning it is equipped to host the finals of any UEFA club competition. This status is reflected in its state-of-the-art facilities for players, media, and spectators.
Retractable Roof: A key feature is its partially retractable roof, which can cover the pitch and stands, allowing events to proceed in all weather conditions.
Since its opening, the stadium has required meticulous upkeep to maintain its elite status.
Pitch Technology: The hybrid grass playing surface is maintained to the highest standard, capable of hosting intense football matches and athletics events in quick succession.
Ongoing Maintenance: As a multi-purpose venue that also hosts major concerts (e.g., Beyoncé, Rihanna) and other events, its facilities are continuously updated and maintained.
National Symbol: Beyond sport, the Baku Olympic Stadium is a powerful symbol of national pride, modernity, and Azerbaijan’s ability to organize and host the world’s biggest events.

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.
