Stadio Oreste Granillo is the primary football venue in Reggio di Calabria, located at the southern tip of the Italian peninsula. Opened in 1999, it stands as one of the most modern stadiums in southern Italy at the time of its construction. With a capacity of 27,000 spectators, the stadium serves as the home ground of Reggina, a club with a long and passionate history in Italian football.
Named in honor of Oreste Granillo—former mayor of Reggio di Calabria and president of Reggina—the stadium is known for its vibrant atmosphere, strong local support, and panoramic views of the surrounding region.
Since its inauguration, Stadio Oreste Granillo has hosted a wide range of significant football events:
Serie A and Serie B Matches:
During Reggina’s multiple Serie A campaigns in the 2000s, the stadium regularly hosted Italy’s top clubs, including Juventus, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Roma, Lazio, and Napoli. These matches helped elevate the stadium’s national profile.
Italy’s National Football Team Debut (2000):
On 2000, the stadium welcomed the national football team of the Italian Republic for the first time. Italy defeated the Portuguese Republic 2–0 in front of 23,000 spectators, marking a historic milestone for the city and the venue.
Promotion and Relegation Battles:
The stadium has been the stage for numerous decisive fixtures that influenced Reggina’s league status, particularly during intense seasons in Serie A and Serie B.
Regional and Youth Competitions:
Stadio Oreste Granillo has also hosted youth tournaments, friendly matches, and community sporting events, reinforcing its role as a multi-purpose regional sports center.
The passionate fan culture in Calabria, combined with the stadium’s enclosed design, contributes to a loud and dynamic matchday environment.
Although relatively modern by Italian standards, the stadium has undergone various upgrades and maintenance projects:
Initial Construction and Modern Design (1990s):
Built to replace the historic Stadio Comunale, the new structure included improved seating, modern access routes, media facilities, and hospitality areas.
2000s Modernization:
With Reggina competing in Serie A, additional investments were made to align the stadium with national and broadcast requirements, including:
Upgraded press and TV broadcast areas
Enhanced changing rooms and technical zones
Strengthened safety and crowd-control systems
Improvements to internal circulation routes
Recent Maintenance Works:
Various sections, including seating sectors and structural components, have been maintained or replaced to ensure compliance with league regulations and improve fan comfort.
Future Redevelopment Considerations:
Discussions have emerged regarding further modernization, such as enhanced commercial areas, updated hospitality suites, and improved lighting systems to meet modern HD/4K broadcast standards.
As sports venues increasingly adopt advanced, energy-efficient LED technologies, Stadio Oreste Granillo offers strong potential for lighting upgrades. Modern LED stadium lighting can significantly enhance both matchday experience and operational efficiency.
Key benefits include:
Superior brightness and uniformity across the playing field
Compliance with Serie A broadcast and international illumination standards
Lower energy consumption and reduced operating costs
Extended lifespan and reduced maintenance demands
Enhanced visibility for players, referees, and spectators
Improved atmosphere for evening matches and televised events

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.
