Estádio Governador Magalhães Pinto, widely known as Mineirão, is one of Brazil’s largest and most iconic football stadiums. The venue officially opened on 5 September 1965 with a football match attended by 73,000 spectators. With a seating capacity of 61,000, Mineirão has been a central hub for football in Belo Horizonte, hosting domestic league matches, international competitions, and major sporting events.
Mineirão was one of the key venues for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, hosting several group stage and knockout matches, including:
First World Cup match at Mineirão: 14 June 2014, Colombia defeated Greece 3–0 in front of 57,000 spectators
Other participating national teams: Algeria, Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, England, Germany, and Iran
The stadium’s modern facilities and world-class infrastructure enabled it to host top-level international football at the highest standards.
Atlético Mineiro: Founded in 1908, won the Copa Libertadores in 2013, defeating Club Olimpia from Paraguay
Cruzeiro: Founded in 1921, won the Copa Libertadores in 1976, defeating River Plate from Argentina
Social media milestones: Both clubs are among the first Brazilian football clubs to surpass 1 million followers on their main platforms
Record attendance: 132,000 spectators attended a home match of Cruzeiro, setting the stadium’s all-time attendance record
Ronaldo, widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time, began his professional career with Cruzeiro. He transferred to PSV Eindhoven in 1994 and later played for FC Barcelona, Internazionale, Real Madrid, AC Milan, and Corinthians. Ronaldo famously scored twice in the 2002 FIFA World Cup final, securing Brazil’s fifth world championship title. In 2021, Ronaldo acquired a controlling stake in his former club, Cruzeiro, reinforcing his legacy in Brazilian football.
Seating Capacity: 61,000 with excellent sightlines and spectator comfort
FIFA-standard natural grass pitch with advanced drainage and maintenance systems
Broadcast-ready LED lighting for HD and UHD televised matches
Multi-purpose design supporting concerts, cultural events, and corporate functions
VIP lounges, media zones, and modern safety systems

With the craze of sport games in the night, and more professional events are played at night, people desire for lighting to play at the very beginning so now people more concern about the quality of lighting, we believe that the glare produced by ordinary lamps can no longer meet the athletes’ pursuit of sensory experience. But now, thanks to developments in MECREE’s sports lighting technology, our precise control and anti-glare lighting makes it possible for sports men and women to perform at their best and enjoy the best sports experience.
There is increasing concern for the problems created by unwanted light at night,such as light pollution and light trespass, result in various types of complaints. Particularly with increasing awareness of environmental problems of all types, it is important that lighting designers recognize the need to control problems related to the general subjects of “Light Pollution” and “Light Trespass.” So we have tried every effort to develope a newest optical technology to solve the problem.
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.
