The Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium is the national stadium of Armenia and the most historic football venue in the country. Originally opened in 1935 as the Dinamo Stadium under Soviet rule, it has been the epicenter of Armenian football for nearly nine decades. The stadium was renamed in 1999 in honor of Vazgen Sargsyan, a prominent military commander and former Prime Minister of Armenia who was a key figure in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
Located in the heart of Yerevan, it is a stadium steeped in history, tradition, and national pride, uniquely shared by the nation’s two most prominent clubs.
The stadium is a classic Soviet-era construction that has undergone several renovations to modernize facilities while retaining its historic character.
Classic Design: A single-tier, horseshoe-shaped bowl with a covered main stand, built close to the pitch, creating an intimate and often intense atmosphere.
National Landmark: Its central location makes it a familiar landmark, and its stands have witnessed the evolution of Armenian football from the Soviet era to independence.
The stadium is famously shared by two of Armenia’s greatest clubs, representing different eras of football history.
Historic Legacy: Founded in the same year the stadium opened, Ararat is Armenia’s most storied club. Its golden age came in the Soviet era, most famously winning the 1973 Soviet Top League and the USSR Cup double—a feat that made them legends across the Soviet Union and cemented the stadium’s place in football history.
Domestic Dynasty: Founded after Armenia’s independence, Pyunik represents the modern era of dominance. They are the first football club from Armenia to win 10 top division titles, establishing themselves as the powerhouse of the Armenian Premier League.
Birthplace of a Legend: Pyunik is where Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Armenia’s greatest footballing export, began his professional career. Mkhitaryan, a national icon, later achieved global fame, notably scoring for Manchester United in their 2017 UEFA Europa League final victory—the club’s first title in that competition.
Beyond club football, the stadium serves as the primary home of the Armenia national football team. It is where the team plays its crucial UEFA European Championship and FIFA World Cup qualifying matches, with the stands packed with passionate supporters.
The Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium is more than a sports venue; it is a living museum of Armenian football. Its turf has seen the triumphs of Ararat’s Soviet champions, the domestic dominance of Pyunik, the early steps of Mkhitaryan, and the enduring hopes of the national team.
It symbolizes continuity and rivalry, hosting the fierce Yerevan derby between Ararat and Pyunik. While discussions about a new national stadium persist, this historic ground remains the emotional and spiritual home of the sport in Armenia—a place where past glory and present passion collide.

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.
