Takhti Stadium (Persian: ورزشگاه تختی, Varzeshgāh-e Takhti) is a historic multi-purpose stadium located within the expansive Takhti Sport Complex in central Tehran. It was inaugurated on June 3, 1973, and named in honor of the legendary Iranian wrestler Gholamreza Takhti, an Olympic gold medalist and national folk hero renowned for his strength and chivalry (Javanmardi).
As part of one of Iran’s largest and most important sports complexes, the stadium was designed to host major national sporting events, particularly football and athletics.
True to its era and purpose, Takhti Stadium is a classic multi-purpose venue:
Athletics Track: The stadium features a full 400-meter, 8-lane running track that encircles the football pitch, defining its primary use for track and field competitions.
Football Pitch: A natural grass surface at the infield.
Architecture: It follows a traditional oval bowl design with covered main stands. Its structure is functional, built for capacity and utility as part of a larger public sports complex rather than as a standalone football fortress.
Throughout its history, Takhti Stadium has served several key roles in Iranian sport:
National Team Venue: Prior to the dominance of the Azadi Stadium, Takhti was a primary home for the Iran national football team (Team Melli), hosting numerous World Cup qualifiers and international friendlies during the 1970s and beyond.
Club Football Home: It has been used as a home ground by several major Tehran clubs at various times, including Persepolis FC, Esteghlal FC, and Saipa FC, especially when their primary venues were under renovation or for specific cup matches.
Major Athletics Hub: The stadium is the nation’s premier venue for track and field, hosting the Iranian National Athletics Championships and other major meets.
Part of a Larger Complex: Its location within the Takhti Sport Complex—which includes swimming pools, gymnasiums, and other facilities—makes it a central piece of Iran’s public sports infrastructure.
While the larger Azadi Stadium (capacity 78,116) has become Iran’s undisputed national football temple, Takhti Stadium retains immense historical and functional importance.
It represents an earlier generation of Iranian sports infrastructure—a publicly-owned complex dedicated to fostering sport at all levels. Today, it continues to be a vital venue for athletics, lower-division football, and occasional top-flight matches when needed. Its historical connection to the revered Gholamreza Takhti and its role in hosting iconic Team Melli matches of the past ensure it remains a respected and recognizable landmark in Iranian sports history.

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.
