Kassam Stadium is a modern football venue located in Oxford, United Kingdom. Named after businessman and former Oxford United chairman Firoz Kassam, the stadium has become one of the key sports facilities in Oxfordshire since its opening in 2001. The venue replaced the historic Manor Ground as the home of Oxford United, bringing the club into a new era with improved infrastructure and matchday facilities.
The stadium opened with a football match between Oxford United and Crystal Palace. Its construction cost reached approximately £15 million, reflecting a significant investment in modern sports architecture, safety systems, and supporter amenities.
Since its inauguration, Kassam Stadium has hosted several notable football events and high-attendance domestic fixtures:
Oxford United League and Cup Matches:
The stadium is primarily known for hosting English Football League matches, including key fixtures that contributed to Oxford United’s promotions and playoff campaigns.
International Youth and Representative Games:
On various occasions, the ground has been selected for youth international fixtures, highlighting its suitability for professional football standards.
High-Profile Friendly Matches:
Kassam Stadium has also been used for friendly games involving Premier League and Championship clubs, attracting significant local interest.
While Kassam Stadium remains relatively young compared to many UK football venues, several improvements and upgrades have been introduced over the years to enhance the matchday experience:
Hospitality and Conference Facilities Upgrades:
The stadium complex includes hospitality suites, a hotel, and event spaces that have been refurbished to accommodate corporate events and non-football functions.
Pitch and Training Improvements:
Upgrades to pitch maintenance systems and ancillary training areas have ensured consistent playing quality throughout the season.
Infrastructure Enhancements:
Improvements to seating, access routes, and safety systems have been implemented to meet evolving football governance and spectator standards.
Today, Kassam Stadium stands as an important football and event venue for the Oxford community. With its modern facilities, strategic location, and continuous improvements, the stadium supports Oxford United’s ambitions while contributing to sport development in the region. The venue continues to attract fans, visitors, and sports organisations seeking a contemporary and accessible stadium environment.

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.
