Sportpark Unterhaching is a modern football stadium located in Bavaria and serves as the home ground of SpVgg Unterhaching, a club founded in 1925. Since opening in 1992, the venue has hosted professional league matches across Germany’s football pyramid, including 1. Bundesliga, 2. Bundesliga, and 3. Liga fixtures. The ground is also known for its family-friendly design and its strategic importance within the Munich football ecosystem.
Sportpark Unterhaching gained national attention when SpVgg Unterhaching secured promotion to the 1. Bundesliga for the 1999–2000 season. Key matches during this period include:
Home fixtures against Bayern Munich and 1860 Munich, which attracted significant media interest and record attendances.
The famous 2000 title-deciding match where Unterhaching defeated Bayer Leverkusen 2–0, indirectly handing the Bundesliga championship to FC Bayern Munich. This remains one of the stadium’s most well-known historic matches.
The stadium has hosted several DFB-Pokal matches, including games against:
Borussia Mönchengladbach
SC Freiburg
Energie Cottbus
These matches brought national broadcast coverage and high spectator turnout.
Sportpark Unterhaching has also hosted:
Germany U21 matches
Germany U19 and U17 development fixtures
Regional representative tournaments
This strengthened its role as a development-focused venue within German football.
The stadium was built with a focus on modern comfort and accessibility:
All-seater main stand with press and VIP facilities
Large standing terraces for home supporters
Professional training fields integrated into the complex
From the outset, the Sportpark was designed to meet DFB and DFL operational standards.
Following the club’s Bundesliga participation, several improvements were made:
Expansion of media facilities
Improved dressing rooms and physio areas
Upgraded safety systems and crowd flow routes
Enhanced floodlighting to meet national broadcasting requirements
These changes ensured compliance with top-tier matchday regulations.
The stadium saw further modernization, including:
Installation of improved electronic scoreboards
Renovation of seating areas and supporter zones
Upgrades to hospitality spaces for sponsors and partners
Pitch enhancements for year-round performance
In line with nationwide modernization, Sportpark Unterhaching underwent lighting upgrades to energy-efficient systems and prepared infrastructure for:
High-lux LED floodlighting
Digital signage
Advanced security and access systems
Potential full smart-stadium transformation in future phases
This aligns the venue with the operational standards of modern European sports facilities.
Sportpark Unterhaching plays a key role beyond professional football:
Regional youth tournaments
Community events and football festivals
Training base for local academies
Occasional non-football events
Its strategic location within the Munich metropolitan area makes it an important sports infrastructure asset for Bavaria.

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.
