Stade Ibn Battuta, also widely known as the Grand Stade de Tanger, is one of Morocco’s most modern and iconic football stadiums. Located in the northern coastal city of Tangier, the venue is named after the famous Moroccan explorer Ibn Battuta, celebrated globally for his extensive travels across Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.
With a 45,000-seat capacity, the stadium regularly hosts major national league matches, international fixtures, and high-profile sporting events. It is also equipped for athletics and large-scale public events, making it one of the most versatile venues in the region.
Stade Ibn Battuta is the home ground of Ittihad Riadi de Tanger (IR Tanger), one of the most popular and rapidly growing football clubs in Morocco.
Notable highlights include:
IR Tanger became one of the first Moroccan sports clubs to reach 100,000 followers on its main social media platform.
It also became the first sports club from Tangier to achieve a valuation of $10 million, marking a significant milestone for professional sports in the region.
These achievements reflect the growing popularity of the club and the increasing importance of Tangier as a football hub in northern Africa.
45,000-seat capacity, suitable for major international competitions
Modern bowl-style design that provides excellent sightlines
Facilities for football, athletics, and multi-sport events
VIP areas, media zones, training facilities, and press rooms
Capable of hosting large concerts, festivals, and ceremonies
Stade Ibn Battuta’s infrastructure aligns with international standards, making it a preferred venue for CAF (Confederation of African Football) and FIFA-related events.
As a modern, high-capacity venue, Stade Ibn Battuta demands a lighting system that supports international football standards, HD broadcast, and multi-purpose usage.
Football requires consistent illumination to avoid shadows and ensure optimal visibility. MECREE LED floodlights offer:
High uniformity across the pitch
Accurate optical control
Reduced glare for players and spectators
The stadium regularly hosts televised matches, requiring lighting that meets broadcast standards:
High vertical and horizontal lux levels
Flicker-free performance
High CRI (Color Rendering Index)
Stable color temperature
These features ensure excellent broadcast quality across TV and digital platforms.
Upgrading from traditional metal-halide fixtures to MECREE LED technology can deliver:
Up to 70% energy savings
Significant reduction in maintenance requirements
Long-lasting, high-lumen performance
Tangier’s coastal environment exposes fixtures to humidity, salt air, and sudden weather changes. MECREE stadium lights are built with:
IP66+ protection
Anti-corrosion materials
Advanced heat dissipation technology
Stable performance in demanding climates
Smart controls allow stadium operators to select lighting modes for different applications:
Match mode
Training mode
Concert mode
TV broadcast mode
Energy-saving mode
This increases flexibility, operational efficiency, and sustainability.

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.
