The National Stadium is the flagship venue of the Singapore Sports Hub, a massive integrated sports, entertainment, and lifestyle complex in Kallang. Built on the historic site of the old National Stadium, its construction began in 2010 as a key national project, and it officially opened on June 30, 2014. It immediately claimed the title of Singapore’s largest capacity stadium.
This state-of-the-art, multi-purpose arena was designed to be the nation’s premier stage for global sporting events, entertainment spectacles, and community activities.
The stadium is renowned for its innovative and flexible design:
Retractable Dome Roof: Its most iconic feature is a large, retractable roof made from a translucent material. When closed, it provides shelter from Singapore’s tropical weather, ensuring events proceed in all conditions. It takes approximately 20 minutes to open or close.
Retractable Seating: A system of mechanized, retractable tiered stands allows the venue to be reconfigured for different events, optimizing sightlines for football, rugby, athletics, and concerts.
Cooling System: A first-of-its-kind “fans-first” cooling system, delivering cooled air directly to each seat, was designed to enhance spectator comfort in the tropical climate.
Hybrid Turf: The pitch uses a sophisticated Desso GrassMaster hybrid system, combining natural grass with synthetic fibers for durability and consistent quality.
The stadium’s opening year was marked by a series of high-profile inaugural events:
First Sell-Out Crowd (14 October 2014): The first full house of 55,000 was achieved for a glamour international football friendly, where the Japanese National Football Team faced five-time world champions Brazil.
First Concert (24 October 2014): Global pop icon Mariah Carey made history by performing the first-ever concert at the venue just ten days later.
As designed, the National Stadium hosts a diverse world-class calendar:
Football: Hosts major international friendlies, ASEAN Football Championship (AFF Suzuki Cup) finals, and Singapore Cup finals.
Rugby Union: The premier venue for the HSBC Singapore Rugby Sevens, a core stop on the prestigious HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series.
Athletics: The main stadium for major track and field events, including the 2015 Southeast Asian Games.
Concerts & Entertainment: A top-tier Asian stop for the world’s biggest musical acts and large-scale entertainment productions.
Other Sports: Has also hosted boxing, mixed martial arts (ONE Championship), and netball events.
The National Stadium has cemented Singapore’s status as a leading host for major events in Southeast Asia. It was the main venue for the 2015 Southeast Asian Games and the 2019 ASEAN Para Games. It regularly attracts global sporting spectacles, from English Premier League preseason tournaments to international rugby fixtures.
While it has no permanent club tenant, its role is that of a national showpiece. It serves as a flexible, world-class “home ground” for the nation’s representative teams and a welcoming stage for international stars, embodying Singapore’s vision as a dynamic global city.

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.
Through lighting simulation calculations and programming of light show designs, solutions oriented towards either visual effects or cost-effectiveness are provided.
