MAPEI STADIUM – Città del Tricolore is one of northern Italy’s most modern and versatile football stadiums. Located in Reggio nell’Emilia, the venue opened in 1995 and hosts both Reggio Audace and US Sassuolo, the latter being a long-term Serie A club. With a capacity of 21,000, the stadium has become a key regional sports hub and also hosts rugby union events, concerts, and national competitions.
Previously known as Stadio Giglio, the venue was renamed after MAPEI, the multinational chemical company that acquired naming rights and invested in substantial modernization works. Today, it stands as a benchmark for privately operated football stadiums in Italy.
Since its inauguration, MAPEI STADIUM has hosted numerous high-level competitions:
Serie A and Serie B Fixtures:
With Sassuolo’s rise to Serie A, the stadium has welcomed Italy’s top clubs, including Juventus, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Roma, and Napoli. These fixtures significantly increased the venue’s national visibility.
European Competitions:
US Sassuolo used the stadium for UEFA Europa League matches, bringing international football to Reggio nell’Emilia for the first time.
Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Events:
The stadium has hosted Coppa Italia matches and, on various occasions, high-profile women’s football competitions, including events organized by the Italian Football Federation.
Rugby Union:
The venue occasionally hosts rugby union matches due to its modern structure and adaptable playing surface, reinforcing its status as a multi-purpose sports facility.
MAPEI STADIUM has become known for its clean sightlines, strong atmosphere, and its ability to attract major domestic and international events.
MAPEI STADIUM is considered one of Italy’s well-maintained and regularly updated football venues. Key renovation phases include:
1995 Opening Modernization:
At its debut, the stadium was one of the first Italian venues featuring a continuous oval seating bowl and high-standard spectator facilities.
MAPEI Acquisition and Significant Upgrades (2013–Present):
After MAPEI acquired the facility, a series of major renovations improved the venue’s infrastructure, including:
New VIP areas and hospitality suites
Improved media facilities
Enhanced accessibility and spectator comfort
Upgraded exterior façades and internal pathways
Enhanced safety and monitoring systems
Pitch Improvements:
The hybrid grass playing field was upgraded to meet Serie A and UEFA standards, providing excellent durability and visual quality.
Fan Experience Enhancements:
Recent efforts focused on improved seating, modernized food and beverage zones, and enhanced digital connectivity to elevate the matchday experience.
These constant updates make MAPEI STADIUM one of Italy’s more advanced football venues in terms of safety, comfort, and match operations.
As football venues across Europe transition to efficient and technologically advanced illumination, MAPEI STADIUM stands as a strong candidate for optimized LED stadium lighting systems that support international broadcast standards.
Upgrading or enhancing the venue’s lighting with high-performance LED fixtures provides key benefits:
Superior brightness and uniformity across the pitch
Compliance with Serie A and UEFA broadcasting specifications
Reduced energy usage and lower long-term operating costs
Dramatically lower maintenance requirements compared with metal-halide lamps
Enhanced matchday atmosphere for night games and live TV audiences

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.
