Overview
Stadion Miejski Legii Warszawa im. Marszałka Józefa Piłsudskiego, located on Ulica Łazienkowska in Warsaw, is one of the most iconic football venues in Poland. With a seating capacity of 31,000, the stadium serves as the home of Legia Warszawa, the country’s most decorated football club. The venue originally opened on 9 August 1930 and has since played a central role in Polish football history.
Renovation and Modernisation
The stadium underwent a major renovation project between 2008 and 2011. This redevelopment transformed nearly the entire facility, replacing outdated structures with a modern, fully covered four-stand design. The upgrade introduced new hospitality zones, enhanced player and media facilities, improved lighting infrastructure, and advanced security and access-control systems.
The modernization brought the stadium up to contemporary UEFA standards, enabling it to host high-profile domestic and international matches. Its compact configuration and steep stands provide excellent sightlines and one of the strongest football atmospheres in Central Europe.
Historical Matches and National Team Fixtures
Stadion Miejski Legii Warszawa has hosted numerous matches of the Poland national football team across multiple decades. Its role in the country’s international football history dates back to the 1930s. Poland played their first-ever FIFA World Cup match in 1938 against Brazil, marking the beginning of the national team’s participation on the global stage.
Throughout the modern era, the venue has continued to serve as a reliable host for national team friendlies, youth internationals, and significant domestic competitions.
Legia Warszawa
Founded in 1916, Legia Warszawa is one of Poland’s most successful and influential football institutions. The club has won multiple domestic league titles, lifting their 10th Polish championship in 2014. During that season, Legia drew an average home attendance of 17,000, reflecting its strong supporter culture and central role within Polish football.
Legia has also been a frequent participant in European competitions, with the stadium providing a high-standard environment for UEFA Champions League and Europa League fixtures.
Today
Following its comprehensive 2008–2011 redevelopment, the stadium stands as a leading sports venue in Poland. Its modern architecture, vibrant match atmosphere, and extensive football heritage make it a key sporting landmark in Warsaw. The facility continues to support Legia Warszawa’s domestic and international ambitions while serving as a premier venue for national team matches and major football 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.
