Estadi Manuel Martínez Valero is one of Spain’s most recognized football venues and serves as the home of Elche CF. Since its inauguration in 1976, the stadium has hosted top-flight Spanish football, international tournaments, and large-scale events, establishing itself as a key landmark in the Valencian Community.
1982 FIFA World Cup
The stadium was selected as a host venue for the 1982 FIFA World Cup. It hosted group-stage matches involving Belgium, El Salvador, and Hungary, showcasing the stadium on an international stage and requiring FIFA-standard facilities.
Elche CF Achievements
Elche CF, founded in 1923, has grown into one of the most popular clubs in Spain, becoming one of the first Spanish sports clubs to surpass 100,000 followers on its main social media platform. The stadium has witnessed numerous historic domestic matches and league campaigns, solidifying its importance in Spanish football history.
Over the years, Estadi Manuel Martínez Valero has undergone renovations to maintain safety, comfort, and broadcast standards:
Seating and Access Improvements: Upgrades improved spectator comfort and ensured compliance with modern stadium safety regulations.
Electrical and Media Infrastructure Enhancements: Enhanced broadcast facilities, media rooms, and electrical systems provide a solid foundation for modern sports lighting.
Modern LED stadium lighting can significantly improve match-day performance, broadcast quality, and operational efficiency at Estadi Manuel Martínez Valero:
Broadcast-Ready Illumination
High-uniformity, flicker-free LED floodlights enable 4K/8K broadcasting and slow-motion replay without visual distortion.
Energy Efficiency
LED lighting can reduce energy consumption by 60%–75% compared to traditional metal-halide systems while lowering maintenance costs and downtime.
Player Comfort and Spectator Experience
Advanced optics and anti-glare designs ensure uniform lighting across the pitch, minimizing shadows and glare for players, referees, and spectators.
Smart Control and Multi-Scene Capability
LED systems allow dynamic lighting modes, including match play, training sessions, pre-match shows, and fan engagement scenarios, increasing commercial value and versatility.
For Estadi Manuel Martínez Valero, LED upgrades aligned with FIFA, UEFA, and LaLiga standards offer a clear opportunity for professional lighting manufacturers like MECREE to deliver energy-efficient, high-performance solutions.
The stadium is a landmark in Elche and the Valencian Community. Beyond football, it hosts community events, cultural programs, and concerts. Modern lighting and infrastructure upgrades will help maintain its historical significance while preparing the venue for international tournaments and modern broadcast requirements.

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.
