Estadio Metropolitano de Fútbol de Lara is one of the largest and most modern football stadiums in Venezuela. Opened in 2007, the venue was constructed as part of the national sports infrastructure program for the 2007 Copa América, making it an important milestone in Venezuelan football development. With a capacity of 47,000, it is one of the biggest football-specific stadiums in the country and serves as the home ground of Deportivo Lara, a prominent club in the Venezuelan Primera División.
The stadium hosted three matches during the 2007 Copa América, drawing significant national and international attention:
Colombia vs United States
Winner: Colombia
Argentina vs Paraguay
Winner: Argentina, 1–0
Argentina vs Peru
Winner: Argentina, 4–0
Argentina’s matches, in particular, attracted widespread interest due to the team’s historical significance in world football.
The reference to Argentina’s national team underscores the stadium’s connection to global football history:
Argentina played in the first-ever FIFA World Cup final in 1930, held in Uruguay.
In 1978, Argentina won their first World Cup title, defeating the Netherlands in the final.
This background highlights the prestige brought by top-tier national teams participating in matches at the Estadio Metropolitano de Fútbol de Lara.
Deportivo Lara, founded in 2009, has rapidly become one of Venezuela’s notable professional football clubs. The club uses the Estadio Metropolitano de Fútbol de Lara for all its home games.
In 2012, Deportivo Lara won the Venezuelan Primera División championship for the first time in their history.
During that historic season, the club became one of the first Venezuelan sports organizations to surpass 100,000 followers on its main social media page.
The team also recorded an impressive average home attendance of 12,000 fans.
In 2013, Deportivo Lara made their debut in the prestigious Copa Libertadores, competing in the group stage alongside:
Club Olimpia (Paraguay)
Newell’s Old Boys (Argentina)
Club Universidad de Chile (Chile)
They finished below these teams but gained valuable international experience and recognition.
Estadio Metropolitano de Fútbol de Lara is known for:
A modern two-tier seating layout
Wide concourses and efficient spectator circulation
A natural grass pitch suited for international-level football
Facilities designed to meet CONMEBOL tournament requirements
Excellent sightlines across all seating sectors
Its construction reflected contemporary football stadium design trends in South America during the 2000s.
Today, the stadium stands as:
One of the largest football venues in Venezuela
A key site for domestic league matches and national football development
A multi-purpose venue for large-scale social, cultural and sporting events
A strategic home for Deportivo Lara’s national and international fixtures
Its size, design, and Copa América legacy make it a central landmark in Venezuelan football.

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.
