The Stade de l’Amitié sino-gabonaise, also known as the Stade d’Angondjé, is one of Gabon’s most important national sports venues. Located in Libreville, the capital city, the stadium serves as a premier destination for major football competitions, including matches of the national football team of Gabon. With a modern design and a capacity of 40,000 spectators, it stands as a central pillar of Gabon’s sports infrastructure.
The stadium was constructed through a strategic partnership between the Chinese and Gabonese governments, symbolizing cooperation between the two nations. Built to meet international standards, the venue includes:
CAF- and FIFA-compliant playing surfaces
High-capacity spectator stands
Media, VIP, and hospitality facilities
Modern structural and electrical systems suitable for global football tournaments
The project marked a major milestone in the modernization of Gabonese sporting infrastructure.
Stade de l’Amitié gained international attention shortly after opening. In 2012, it hosted its first-ever Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) final, a historic match watched by 40,000 spectators. Zambia won the final after a dramatic penalty shootout, marking one of the most memorable finals in AFCON history.
The stadium has hosted numerous home matches of the Gabon national football team, including games featuring Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Gabon’s most famous footballer.
Key milestones related to Aubameyang:
Made his Gabon national team debut in 2009
Crowned African Footballer of the Year in 2015 by CAF
Played for Borussia Dortmund at the time of his 2015 award
Joined Arsenal FC in 2018 after leaving Dortmund
These events contributed to the stadium’s reputation as a venue where African football stars have showcased their talent.
Stade de l’Amitié includes a wide range of modern amenities:
40,000-seat capacity designed for international fixtures
Advanced stadium lighting systems suitable for HD broadcast and night matches
Athlete facilities, locker rooms, medical units, and training zones
Multi-purpose design for ceremonies, national celebrations, and sporting events
Enhanced crowd-flow design, ensuring safety and accessibility
These features make the stadium a primary host for international football, as well as cultural and state events in Libreville.
Since its opening, the stadium has undergone periodic improvements to maintain CAF and FIFA compliance:
Upgraded lighting and electrical infrastructure for broadcast-quality illumination
Enhanced security, seating, and public-access systems
Surface maintenance and modernization to support high-level competition
Digital enhancements for media and event operations
These upgrades reinforce the stadium’s status as a modern and reliable venue for large-scale sports events.
The Stade de l’Amitié sino-gabonaise is a cornerstone of Gabon’s football heritage—a modern 40,000-seat stadium that has hosted major international tournaments, national team fixtures, and historic AFCON matches. With strong infrastructure and ongoing improvements, it remains one of the most important sporting venues in Central Africa.

With the craze of sport games in the night, and more professional events are played at night, people desire for lighting to play at the very beginning so now people more concern about the quality of lighting, we believe that the glare produced by ordinary lamps can no longer meet the athletes’ pursuit of sensory experience. But now, thanks to developments in MECREE’s sports lighting technology, our precise control and anti-glare lighting makes it possible for sports men and women to perform at their best and enjoy the best sports experience.
There is increasing concern for the problems created by unwanted light at night,such as light pollution and light trespass, result in various types of complaints. Particularly with increasing awareness of environmental problems of all types, it is important that lighting designers recognize the need to control problems related to the general subjects of “Light Pollution” and “Light Trespass.” So we have tried every effort to develope a newest optical technology to solve the problem.
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.
