Stadion Segiri is not only the heart of football in Samarinda, Indonesia, but also a symbol of sporting spirit and community pride for the entire East Kalimantan region. As the home stadium of Indonesia’s top-tier football club Borneo FC, it has transformed from a basic community ground into a modern professional football sanctuary and is emerging as a significant landmark on Asia’s football map.
Stadion Segiri, located on Jalan Kesuma Bangsa in the Segiri district of Samarinda, first opened its doors in 1980. It was built to meet the growing demand for a dedicated football facility in this resource-rich provincial capital.
For decades, it served as the cherished home of the local club Persisam Putra Samarinda, hosting passionate local derbies and climbing through the national league tiers. Its intense atmosphere earned it a formidable reputation. A pivotal transformation began in 2014 with the founding of Borneo FC. The club’s ambitious vision and subsequent acquisition of the stadium ownership led to systematic, large-scale renovations, elevating it into the modern 16,000-seater fortress it is today.
The identity of Stadion Segiri is inextricably linked to Borneo FC (Pesut Etam). Founded in 2014, the club rapidly rose to become a powerhouse in Liga 1 (Indonesia’s top-flight league). It gained national recognition by becoming one of the first Indonesian sports clubs to surpass 100,000 followers on its main social media platform.
The club’s professional management and investment were the direct drivers behind the stadium’s comprehensive upgrades, ensuring the venue met both national and Asian Football Confederation (AFC) standards for hosting high-level competitions.
Stadion Segiri has been the stage for numerous significant football moments:
Domestic Leagues & Cups: It is the regular home venue for Borneo FC’s Liga 1 matches and has hosted key fixtures in the Piala Indonesia (Indonesian Cup) and the East Kalimantan Governor’s Cup.
Continental Competition: Following its renovations, the stadium has successfully hosted group stage and knockout matches in the AFC Cup, Asia’s second-tier continental club competition, bringing international football to Samarinda.
National & Youth Football: The stadium regularly serves as a training base and match venue for various Indonesian national youth teams (U-19, U-23) and has hosted events like the football tournaments of the National Student Sports Festival (POMNAS).
The transformation of Stadion Segiri is a story of phased, strategic investment:
Initial Upgrades (2018-2019): The first major phase focused on the core playing area, involving a complete turf replacement and a critical overhaul of the pitch’s drainage and irrigation systems. This solved long-standing waterlogging issues and provided a pitch meeting Liga 1 standards.
Comprehensive Modernization (2022): This phase revolutionized the spectator experience and infrastructure. All 16,000 old terrace seats were replaced with modern, individual orange and black seats, creating Borneo FC’s distinct visual identity. The lighting system was upgraded to a 1,500 lux LED array, enabling high-definition night broadcasts. Player facilities (dressing rooms, gym) and areas for media and VIPs were also completely renovated to professional standards.
Pursuit of Elite Standards (2023-2024): The most recent upgrades targeted world-class quality. A state-of-the-art hybrid grass system was installed, combining natural grass with synthetic fibers for unparalleled durability and playability. A large high-definition LED video scoreboard was added to enhance the in-stadium fan experience, alongside a complete overhaul of the sound system and stadium security.
Stadion Segiri holds official licenses from both the Football Association of Indonesia (PSSI) for all domestic competitions and has obtained AFC Stadium Criteria approval, allowing it to host continental matches.
Beyond sports, the stadium is a major community and economic hub. It inspires youth football development in the region and drives significant local economic activity on match days. It stands as a powerful symbol of regional pride and identity for the people of East Kalimantan.

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.
