Address: Jl. Olo Ladang, Belakang Tangsi, Padang Barat, Padang, West Sumatra, Indonesia
Country: Indonesia
Capacity: 20,000 (officially 28,000 pre-renovation; current all-seater capacity is lower)
Opened: 1985 (Original structure)
Main Use: Multi-purpose (Football, Athletics, Rugby Union)
Tenants: Semen Padang FC
Stadion Gelora Haji Agus Salim is the main stadium in Padang, the capital of West Sumatra, Indonesia. Originally opened in 1985, it is named after Haji Agus Salim, a revered Indonesian national hero, diplomat, and Islamic scholar who was born in West Sumatra.
The stadium is a true multi-sport complex, designed with a running track for athletics and used for rugby union, but it is most famous as the fortress of one of Indonesia’s most historic football clubs.
The stadium’s design reflects its varied uses:
Athletics Track: A 400-meter synthetic track surrounds the pitch, making it the primary athletics venue for the region.
Rugby Union: It has hosted matches for the Indonesian national rugby team and local rugby competitions.
Football Pitch: A natural grass surface is the stage for its primary tenant.
The stadium is synonymous with Semen Padang FC, one of Indonesia’s oldest and most respected clubs, founded in 1980.
Historic Achievement: The club’s golden moment came in the 2011-12 Indonesia Super League season when they were crowned champions of Indonesia for the first and only time in their history. This triumph ignited massive celebrations across West Sumatra and cemented the team’s legendary status.
Passionate Support: The club is known for its incredibly passionate and vocal fanbase, particularly the Kabau Sirah supporters’ group. The stadium, often referred to as “Kandang Kabau Sirah” (The Home of the Red Bulls), is renowned for its intense and intimidating atmosphere, especially during its championship era.
Home Advantage: The unique combination of fervent local support, high altitude, and often rainy conditions made it one of the most difficult away fixtures in Indonesian football.
The stadium has undergone significant renovations to meet modern safety and comfort standards. These renovations included the installation of individual seats across all stands, which reduced its official capacity from its original 28,000 to around 20,000. The running track was also upgraded to a modern synthetic surface.
Located in the heart of Padang, Stadion Gelora Haji Agus Salim is more than a sports venue; it is a central pillar of community identity in West Sumatra. It is where Minangkabau pride is on full display. The 2012 championship season transformed the stadium into a place of pilgrimage for football fans, a symbol of what a provincial club could achieve against the giants of Java.
Stadion Gelora Haji Agus Salim stands as a monument to regional pride, sporting passion, and historic achievement. It remains the hallowed ground where Semen Padang’s legacy was forged and where the echoes of the 2012 title triumph still resonate.

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.
