Thống Nhất Stadium is one of the oldest stadiums still in active use in Vietnam. Located in District 10, it has long served as a central sports venue for southern Vietnam, particularly during periods when Ho Chi Minh City was the heart of the country’s domestic football scene.
The stadium features a traditional multi-stand layout with a natural grass pitch and compact seating arrangement, providing close proximity between players and spectators.
Colonial-era origins: Built in 1930 during the French colonial period and originally named Cercle Sportif Saïgonnais.
Post-1975 era: Renamed Thống Nhất Stadium following national reunification, symbolizing unity.
Domestic football: Longtime host of Vietnam’s top-flight league matches, national cup fixtures, and youth tournaments.
International matches: Occasionally used for international club and friendly matches, especially before the expansion of Mỹ Đình’s national role.
The stadium has witnessed multiple championship-winning seasons and played a key role in the development of football in southern Vietnam.
Over the decades, Thống Nhất Stadium has undergone multiple renovations, including:
Structural reinforcement of stands
Pitch resurfacing and drainage improvements
Installation of floodlights and basic media facilities
While functional, the stadium is widely regarded as limited by modern international standards, prompting discussions about future redevelopment or replacement.
Today, Thống Nhất Stadium continues to be used for:
Professional football matches
Youth and grassroots competitions
Community sporting events
Its historical importance and central urban location ensure it remains a recognizable landmark in Ho Chi Minh City’s sports landscape.
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.
