A Continental Hub for Hockey

The National Hockey Stadium is Malaysia’s premier and most iconic field hockey venue. Located within the vast Bukit Jalil National Sports Complex in Kuala Lumpur, its history involves two key phases. The original stadium was opened in 1998 as part of the infrastructure for the 1998 Commonwealth Games.

Following a decision to create a world-class, dedicated hockey facility, the original structure was demolished. Construction of the new, purpose-built stadium began in 2007. This modern arena was completed and has since become the central hub for hockey in Southeast Asia.

Design as a Modern Hockey-Specific Venue

The current stadium was designed specifically for hockey, moving away from the earlier multi-purpose model. Key features include:

  • Blue Turf: It features a state-of-the-art blue synthetic turf, conforming to international competition standards, which provides excellent ball roll and visibility for players and spectators.

  • Lighting: Equipped with a high-quality floodlighting system to facilitate night matches and television broadcasts.

  • Spectator Stands: Covered stands on both sides of the pitch provide shelter for the majority of spectators.

  • Training Facilities: The complex includes additional training pitches and support facilities for teams.

Host of Major International Tournaments

The stadium’s world-class facilities have made it a favored host for elite Asian and global hockey events, cementing Malaysia’s reputation as a leading hockey nation.

  • FIH Hockey World League / Pro League: Regularly hosts rounds of these premier global competitions.

  • Asian Hockey Federation (AHF) Events: The go-to venue for major Asian tournaments, including the Asia Cup and Asian Champions Trophy.

  • Sultan Azlan Shah Cup: While the prestigious annual Sultan Azlan Shah Cup is held in Ipoh, this stadium has hosted editions or significant matches.

  • 2017 Southeast Asian (SEA) Games: Served as the main hockey venue for the Games held in Kuala Lumpur.

Home of the National Teams

The stadium is the fortress for Malaysia’s national hockey teams:

  • Speedy Tigers (Men’s National Team): The men’s team uses this as their primary home ground for test matches, continental qualifiers, and international friendlies.

  • Malaysian Tigress (Women’s National Team): The women’s national team also plays its major home fixtures here.

Legacy and Significance

The National Hockey Stadium is more than just a sports venue; it is a symbol of Malaysia’s deep passion for and commitment to field hockey. Its reconstruction into a dedicated facility demonstrates the priority given to the sport at the national level.

By consistently hosting top-tier international events, it provides a platform to grow the sport’s popularity locally and showcases Malaysia’s organizational capability on the world stage. It stands as the beating heart of Malaysian hockey, where the “Speedy Tigers” roar and the next generation of players is inspired.

Preface

1. Optimal Experience

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.

2.Impact of Light Pollution

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.

What kind of light is used in stadiums?

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:

  1. R580 series stadium lights are designed for 160 feet to 1000 feet of lighting distances and 4K, 8K HD broadcasting.
  2. AFL series stadium lights are designed for lighting distances from 50 feet to 330 feet and improve the brightness uniformity.
  3. P73-L and A65 series stadium lights are designed for the precise light control needs of the North American and European markets. The Upward Light Ratio of the P73P73–L/A65 series LED stadium lights is 0%.

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.

PRECISE CONTROL OF LIGHT 1

-OPTICS 10X BETTER

A65

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.

COMPETITORS

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

PRECISE CONTROL OF LIGHT 1

-OPTICS 10X BETTER

REMOTE DRIVER

The power supply and lamp body can be mounted separately, reducing the withstand weight of the lamp pole and facilitating maintenance.

CONVENIENT INSTALLATION 3

-EASY CROSSARM REPLACEMENT

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.

How to accurately aim the lights in the stadium?

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.
