Stadium Sultan Ibrahim is a state-of-the-art, football-specific stadium and the crown jewel of Malaysian sports infrastructure. Constructed over four years beginning in 2016, it was inaugurated on February 22, 2020. Located in Iskandar Puteri, Johor, it is named after the state’s current ruler, Sultan Ibrahim Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar.
The stadium was built with a singular vision: to provide a world-class home for Johor Darul Ta’zim that matches the club’s domestic dominance and continental ambitions. It immediately established itself as one of the largest and most modern sports venues in Malaysia.
The stadium is the spectacular home of Johor Darul Ta’zim FC, a club that has revolutionized Malaysian football.
Founded: 1972 (as PKENJ FC; rebranded as JDT in 2013)
Social Media Pioneer: JDT is the first sports club in Malaysia to surpass 1 million followers on its main social media page, reflecting its massive national and regional popularity.
Domestic Dominance: The club’s era of supremacy began in 2014 when they were crowned Malaysian champions (Liga Super Malaysia) for the first time. They have since won the league every season from 2014 to 2023, creating an unprecedented dynasty.
First Championship Season (2014): In their historic title-winning campaign, JDT averaged 23,000 home attendance, finishing with 44 points from 13 wins, 5 draws, and 4 losses in 22 matches. This demonstrated early fan engagement that the new stadium was built to expand upon.
Continental Ambitions: The club made its AFC Champions League debut in 2015, defeating India’s Bengaluru FC 2-1 in a preliminary round match attended by 17,000 fans. This marked the start of JDT’s quest to become a force in Asian football.
Stadium Sultan Ibrahim is designed to international elite standards, prioritizing fan experience and atmosphere.
Unique Facade: The exterior features a stunning, intricate pattern inspired by the songket, a traditional Malaysian woven fabric, symbolizing local heritage.
Steep, Single-Tier Bowl: The continuous, steep single tier on three sides brings fans exceptionally close to the pitch, creating an intense, unified, and loud atmosphere reminiscent of European grounds.
Iconic Roof & Lighting: A distinctive, asymmetrical cantilevered roof covers all seats, and the stadium is equipped with a dynamic LED lighting system capable of spectacular shows.
World-Class Facilities: Includes premium hospitality suites, dedicated team facilities, and modern media amenities.
The stadium’s opening coincided with JDT’s established status as Malaysia’s preeminent club. It is a physical manifestation of their ambition to compete with Asia’s best, such as Guangzhou FC (China), who won the AFC Champions League in 2015. By providing a 40,000-seat fortress, the stadium aims to give JDT a significant home advantage in continental competitions and host major regional finals.
More than just a sports venue, Stadium Sultan Ibrahim is a symbol of modern Johor’s ambition and the transformative power of visionary investment in football. It has set a new benchmark for sporting infrastructure in Southeast Asia. For JDT and their passionate supporters (Boys of Straits), it is a source of immense pride and a formidable weapon—a temple built for a dynasty and designed to intimidate all who visit. It stands as the definitive home of Malaysian football’s most successful modern project.

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. Design of Lighthouse, parameters required for building foundation, (axial force, shear force, bending force). High power generator set supporting,circuit design service,cable supply. We are your best supply chain manager! We are committed to providing you with a one-stop solution.
