Sylhet District Stadium (often referred to as Sylhet Stadium) is a historic and versatile sports ground located on Lamabazar Road in the city of Sylhet, Sylhet Division, Bangladesh. For decades, it has served as a central venue for cricket and football in the northeastern region of the country.
Full Address: Lamabazar Road, Sylhet, Sylhet Division, Bangladesh.
Country: Bangladesh
Location: Sylhet City, Sylhet Division
Capacity: Approximately 15,000 spectators (with historical reports of higher attendance for major events)
Opened: 1965
Main Use: Cricket and Football (multi-purpose ground)
Primary Tenants: The stadium is a public facility used for regional and national-level matches. It does not have a permanent professional club tenant but is used by various local football and cricket teams for competitions. It has also hosted the Bangladesh national football team.
Opened in 1965, the stadium has been a witness to the sporting evolution of the Sylhet region.
Historic Football Matches: The stadium is renowned for having hosted various football matches with tens of thousands of people in attendance, particularly during the 1970s, 80s, and 90s when it was a prime venue for the Bangladesh Football Premier League and local derbies. Its atmosphere during these packed matches is a key part of its legacy.
Bangladesh National Football Team: It has served as a home ground for the Bangladesh national football team (“Bengal Tigers”) for international friendlies and regional tournaments, drawing massive local crowds.
Cricket Usage: While primarily known for football historically, the ground is also used for cricket. It has hosted first-class and List A cricket matches in the Bangladeshi domestic circuit.
Multi-Purpose Events: Beyond sports, the stadium has been a venue for large political rallies, cultural festivals, and public gatherings, underscoring its role as a central community space in Sylhet.
To maintain its functionality and safety, the Sylhet District Stadium has undergone several phases of renovation:
Initial Development: The original stadium with basic embankment seating was established in 1965.
Seating & Facility Upgrades: Over the decades, concrete galleries and a modest pavilion were added to replace the earthen banks, improving spectator comfort and player facilities.
Floodlight Installation: In the late 1990s or early 2000s, floodlights were installed, allowing the stadium to host day-night cricket matches and evening football games.
Modernization Efforts: More recent work has focused on maintaining the pitch, upgrading drainage systems, and improving changing rooms and media facilities to meet the basic standards for hosting national-level competitions.
Future Outlook: With the construction of the modern, cricket-specific Sylhet International Cricket Stadium nearby, the primary focus for top-level cricket has shifted. The Sylhet District Stadium now primarily serves football, local cricket, and community events, with maintenance focused on preserving its existing infrastructure.
The stadium remains a beloved landmark, evoking nostalgia for the era when it was the unrivaled sporting heart of the region.

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.
