Address: Jl. Sultan Mahmudsyah No. 1, Banda Aceh, Aceh, Indonesia
Country: Indonesia
Capacity: 20,000 (Approximate; originally 25,000, reduced after renovations)
Opened: March 15, 1977
Main Use: Football
Tenants: Historically the home of Persiraja Banda Aceh. Currently used for local matches and events.
Stadion H. Dimurthala is a historic football stadium and a landmark in Banda Aceh, the capital of the special region of Aceh, Indonesia. Inaugurated on March 15, 1977, it was indeed built to be and remains one of the main sports venues in Aceh. The stadium is named in honor of H. Dimurthala, a prominent local sports figure and former mayor of Banda Aceh who was instrumental in its development.
The stadium holds a deep place in the community’s memory, having witnessed both the fervor of local football and the devastating 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, after which it served as a crucial humanitarian relief and displacement camp.
The stadium’s design is typical of its era, built as a functional multi-purpose venue.
Original Capacity: Upon opening, it had a capacity of approximately 25,000.
Post-Tsunami Renovation: Severely damaged in the 2004 tsunami, the stadium underwent significant reconstruction with international aid. It reopened in 2007 with a reduced, modernized capacity of around 20,000, featuring improved seating and facilities.
Architecture: It features a horseshoe design with a main grandstand and terraces. The running track confirms its multi-purpose past, though it is primarily known for football.
The stadium’s identity is inextricably linked to Persiraja Banda Aceh, the historic and passionately supported local club.
Historic Tenant: For decades, this was the fortress of Persiraja, hosting countless dramatic matches in Indonesia’s top leagues (Galatama, Liga Indonesia). The atmosphere during Persiraja’s home games was legendary in Indonesian football.
Current Use: While Persiraja has fluctuated between divisions and occasionally used other grounds, Stadion H. Dimurthala remains its spiritual home and primary venue for important matches. It also hosts local league games, school sports tournaments, and athletics meets.
Symbol of Resilience: Beyond sport, the stadium is a powerful symbol of Aceh’s recovery and resilience. Its story of destruction and rebirth mirrors that of the region itself.
More than just a sports venue, Stadion H. Dimurthala is a cultural touchstone. It is a place where community pride is displayed, where generations have shared sporting passion, and where the province gathered to heal after tragedy. Its central location in Banda Aceh makes it a familiar and significant landmark for all Acehnese.
Stadion H. Dimurthala stands as a testament to the enduring power of sport within community identity. It is a venue steeped in history, marked by profound tragedy, and renewed by resilience—forever serving as one of the main pillars of public life in Aceh.

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.
