Busan Asiad Main Stadium is a colossal multi-purpose stadium located in Busan, South Korea. As the centerpiece of the Busan Asiad Main Stadium complex, it was built to host the 2002 Asian Games and the 2002 FIFA World Cup, establishing itself as a landmark venue for mega-events in the nation’s second-largest city.
Full Address: 344 Worldcup-daero, Yeonje-gu, Busan, South Korea.
Country: South Korea
Location: Busan Metropolitan City (Yeonje District)
Opened: July 2001
Capacity: 53,000 spectators
Main Use: Football and Athletics (track and field)
Tenants: The stadium is a public, city-owned facility. It does not have a permanent professional club tenant. Its primary use is for major international sporting events, national team matches, large-scale concerts, and public ceremonies.
The stadium’s entire conception and scale were driven by two back-to-back global events.
Primary Purpose – 2002 Asian Games: It was constructed as the Main Stadium for the 2002 Asian Games, hosted by Busan. It hosted the spectacular opening and closing ceremonies and the athletics competitions.
2002 FIFA World Cup Venue: As part of South Korea’s hosting duties, it was also selected as a venue for the 2002 FIFA World Cup. It hosted three group stage matches:
Paraguay vs South Africa (Group B)
South Korea vs Poland (Group D) – A historic 2-0 victory for co-hosts South Korea.
France vs Uruguay (Group A) – A goalless draw featuring the defending champions.
Built on an epic scale, the stadium is an imposing and functional structure.
Monumental Scale: With a capacity of 53,000, it is the largest stadium in Busan and one of the largest in South Korea. Its sheer size is meant to convey the city’s status as a global metropolis.
Multi-Purpose Focus: True to its role as an Asian Games main stadium, it was built with a full international-standard athletics track surrounding the football pitch. This makes it ideal for major track and field events but creates distance between football spectators and the pitch.
Distinctive Roof: The stadium features a large, partial cantilevered roof that covers the majority of the seating areas, providing shelter for spectators.
Since the 2002 events, the stadium has been used for a variety of major one-off events due to its enormous capacity.
South Korean National Team: It is occasionally used for the South Korean national football team’s most high-profile matches, especially important World Cup qualifiers or friendlies against global opponents that are expected to draw huge crowds.
Concerts & Cultural Events: Its size makes it one of the premier venues in Korea for mega-concerts by the world’s biggest K-pop acts and international music stars.
Lack of a Club Tenant: Unlike other World Cup stadiums, it has never become the permanent home of a K League club. Busan’s professional clubs (Busan IPark) prefer the more intimate and football-specific Busan Gudeok Stadium. This means the Asiad Main Stadium often sits dormant between major 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.
