Changwon Football Centre Stadium is a modern, football-specific stadium and the home of Gyeongnam FC. Its construction began in 2007 and it was inaugurated on December 1, 2009, replacing the club’s former home at the larger, multi-purpose Changwon Civic Stadium.
The stadium is the centerpiece of the larger Changwon Football Centre complex, which includes training pitches and support facilities. It is located in the Dudae-dong area of Changwon, a planned city and the capital of South Gyeongsang Province.
The stadium was built following the trend in the K League toward more intimate, football-dedicated grounds:
Compact and Intimate: It features a single-tier, continuous stand on three sides and a two-tiered main stand, all built close to the pitch to create an enclosed and loud atmosphere.
UEFA Category 3 Standard: Built to meet international standards, allowing it to host AFC Champions League matches.
Partial Roof: A distinctive partial roof covers all spectator areas, with a design that incorporates the club’s red color into its support structure.
Modern Facilities: Includes up-to-date facilities for players, media, and fans.
The stadium is the proud home of Gyeongnam FC, a club with deep roots in the region.
Historic Debut: As noted, Gyeongnam FC played its first-ever K League 1 match in 2006, drawing 0-0 with Jeju United in front of 20,000 fans at their old Changwon Civic Stadium. This demonstrated the strong local support that the new stadium was built to harness.
New Era: The move to this purpose-built arena in 2009 gave the club a modern identity and a more intense home-ground advantage. The atmosphere here is known for being passionate, fueled by the club’s dedicated “Reds” supporter group.
Peak Achievement: The stadium was the stage for one of the club’s greatest successes when Gyeongnam FC finished as runners-up in the K League 1 in 2018, having one of their most successful seasons in their modern home.
Changwon Football Centre Stadium is part of South Korea’s second generation of football stadiums—smaller, fan-focused venues built in the 2000s and 2010s to improve the matchday experience and strengthen club identity.
For the city of Changwon, it is a point of civic pride, a modern sports facility that provides a fitting home for its professional football club. It has successfully created a fortress-like environment where Gyeongnam FC can compete with a significant home-field advantage.
The stadium represents a successful model of local government and club collaboration to build a sustainable football culture, moving away from shared, multi-purpose facilities to a dedicated football home. Changwon Football Centre Stadium stands as a modern, atmospheric, and essential pillar of professional football in South Gyeongsang Province.

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.
