Sangju Civic Stadium is the primary public sports stadium located in the city of Sangju, North Gyeongsang Province, South Korea. For decades, it has served as the central venue for football, athletics, and community events in this historic city.
Full Address: Sangju Civic Stadium, Sangju, North Gyeongsang Province, South Korea.
Country: South Korea
Location: Sangju City, North Gyeongsang Province
Capacity: 15,000 spectators
Opened: 22 January 1992
Main Use: Football and Athletics (track and field)
Tenants: The stadium is a public, city-owned facility. It does not have a permanent professional club tenant. Its primary use is for local high school and university sports, city-sponsored tournaments, and as a public training and event space. It has, however, hosted professional football matches.
While not a regular K League venue for a specific club, Sangju Civic Stadium has a notable history with professional football due to a unique circumstance.
Home of Sangju Sangmu: The stadium is most famous for being the long-time home of Sangju Sangmu FC. This is a special military-affiliated club in the K League, composed of conscripted professional players serving their mandatory military service. The club played its home matches here from its founding until the 2020 season, when it was relocated and rebranded as Gimcheon Sangmu.
Professional Matches: During Sangju Sangmu’s tenure, the stadium hosted regular K League 1 and K League 2 matches, bringing professional football to the city for nearly three decades. It also hosted Korean FA Cup matches.
As a multi-purpose stadium with a full athletics track, its role extends beyond football.
Athletics Hub: It is the main venue for Sangju’s school and city-level track and field competitions.
National Sports Festival: The stadium has been used as a venue for the Korean National Sports Festival, the country’s largest multi-sport event.
Public Gatherings: Its large capacity makes it suitable for major cultural festivals, concerts, and public ceremonies for the Sangju community.
Opened in 1992, the stadium was built to modernize the city’s sports infrastructure.
Initial Construction: It was constructed with a standard design for a regional civic stadium: a natural grass football pitch surrounded by a synthetic athletics track, with concrete terraces and a covered main stand.
Maintenance and Upgrades: Over the years, maintenance has focused on:
Pitch & Track: Regular resurfacing and upkeep of the playing field and running track.
Facilities: Incremental improvements to lighting (for night events), scoreboards, and basic spectator amenities like restrooms and concessions.
Functional Preservation: The stadium remains a functional and well-maintained public asset, though it lacks the luxury amenities of newer, privately-built stadiums.
Sangju Civic Stadium stands as a testament to the role of municipal stadiums in supporting grassroots sports and hosting professional events outside of South Korea’s major metropolitan centers.

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.
