Ulsan Munsu Football Stadium, also known as Big Crown Stadium, is a world-class football-specific arena located at 44 Munsu-ro, Ulsan, South Korea. Built for the 2002 FIFA World Cup, it has become the revered and formidable home of Ulsan Hyundai FC, a club that has grown to dominate Asian football.
Full Address: 44 Munsu-ro, Ulsan, South Korea.
Country: South Korea
Location: Ulsan Metropolitan City

The stadium is the fortress of a club that has evolved into a modern Asian titan.
Club Foundation: Founded in 1983 as Hyundai Horang-i (Hyundai Tigers), the club has been a K League mainstay, backed by the industrial might of the Hyundai conglomerate.
Historic Asian Champions (2012): Ulsan achieved their breakthrough by winning the AFC Champions League in 2012, defeating Saudi Arabia’s Al-Ahli 3-0 in the final. This triumph was celebrated by their home fans at Munsu Stadium and marked the club’s arrival as a continental force.
Back-to-Back Asian Champions (2020 & 2022): Ulsan solidified their dynasty by winning the AFC Champions League again in 2020 and 2022, becoming one of only a handful of clubs to win the title multiple times in the modern era. These victories cemented their status as Asia’s premier club of the early 2020s.
The stadium was designed as a crown jewel for the 2002 FIFA World Cup.
Inaugural Match: It opened with a legendary friendly match on 28 April 2001, where South Korea defeated Brazil 1-0, a symbolic victory that foreshadowed Korea’s incredible World Cup run.
World Cup Matches: It hosted four matches during the 2002 tournament:
Group Stage: Denmark vs. Uruguay, Brazil vs. Turkey
Round of 16: Germany vs. Paraguay
Third-Place Playoff: South Korea vs. Turkey
Architectural Icon: The stadium’s nickname, “Big Crown,” comes from its stunning architectural design. The roof is supported by eight giant, swooping masts that resemble a majestic crown, a fitting symbol for the industrial “capital” of Ulsan.
As a purpose-built football stadium, it offers an unparalleled experience.
Football-Specific Perfection: Built without a running track, the stands are steep and close to the pitch, ensuring an intimate and deafeningly loud atmosphere. The crown-like roof effectively traps sound, making it one of the most intimidating venues in Asia for visiting teams.
Home Advantage: Ulsan Hyundai has developed an exceptional home record here, particularly in the AFC Champions League, where the stadium’s atmosphere provides a significant edge.
Continuous Excellence: The stadium is impeccably maintained, with a pristine natural grass pitch and facilities that remain at the forefront of Asian stadium standards, regularly hosting the Korean national team and major continental finals.
Ulsan Munsu Football Stadium represents the perfect union of World Cup heritage and sustained sporting excellence, standing as a true temple of modern football.

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.
