Official Name: Busan Asiad Main Stadium / Busan Asia Main Stadium (부산아시아드주경기장)
Address: 344 Worldcup-daero, Yeonje-gu, Busan, South Korea
Country: South Korea
Opened: July 2001 (September 7, 2001, for the opening ceremony of the 2002 Asian Games)
Capacity: 53,864 (commonly referenced as 53,000)
Main Use: Football and Athletics
Primary Tenant: Primarily a public multi-purpose venue. It has no permanent professional tenant but is used for major sporting events, international matches, concerts, and was previously used by Busan IPark (2001-2019).
Constructed as the centerpiece for the 2002 Asian Games held in Busan, the stadium was completed in 2001. Its most striking architectural feature is its unique roof, designed to resemble the billowing sails of a ship or the wings of a seagull, paying homage to Busan’s identity as Korea’s premier port city.
As a true multi-purpose stadium, it features a full athletics track and was designed to host large-scale opening/closing ceremonies, track and field events, and football matches. It is part of the larger Busan Sports Complex, which includes auxiliary stadiums, a baseball park, and an indoor arena.
Your information is correct. The stadium’s most notable use was hosting three group-stage matches during the 2002 FIFA World Cup:
June 2, 2002 (Group B): Paraguay 2–2 South Africa
June 4, 2002 (Group D): South Korea 2–0 Poland
June 6, 2002 (Group A): France 0–0 Uruguay
Beyond the World Cup, it served as the main stadium for the 2002 Asian Games, hosting the opening and closing ceremonies. It has also been the venue for numerous international athletics championships, K League matches, and large-scale concerts by global artists.
From 2001 to 2019, it served as the primary home stadium for the professional football club Busan IPark, before the club moved back to the renovated historic Busan Gudeok Stadium in 2020.
As a stadium built for a major international games in 2001, it has seen periodic upgrades rather than complete overhauls.
2013-2014: The stadium underwent a significant renovation that included the complete replacement of its natural grass pitch with a modern hybrid turf system. The running track was also resurfaced to international standards.
2017: Further upgrades were made to the VIP facilities, media center, and the stadium’s exterior lighting system in preparation for hosting large events.
The Busan Asiad Main Stadium remains a key landmark and flexible large-capacity venue for Busan, embodying the city’s modern, dynamic spirit.

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.
