Waldstadion Homburg is a historic football stadium located in the city of Homburg, Saarland, Germany. Opened in 1937, the venue has served for decades as the sporting heart of the region and stands among the traditional football grounds of southwestern Germany.
Surrounded by woodland areas, the stadium’s name, Waldstadion (“Forest Stadium”), reflects its natural setting and its close connection to local community football culture. Since its opening, the stadium has remained closely associated with Fußball-Club 08 Homburg-Saar, today commonly known as FC Homburg.
FC Homburg was founded in 1908 and has a notable place in German football history despite representing a relatively small city. The club reached the pinnacle of German football in the 1986–87 season, when FC Homburg played its first-ever matches in the German top-flight league (Bundesliga).
Waldstadion Homburg hosted Bundesliga football during this historic period, welcoming some of Germany’s most prominent clubs and players. These matches marked the high point of the club’s sporting journey and remain among the most memorable moments in the stadium’s history.
The Bundesliga appearances elevated both the club and the stadium to national recognition, firmly embedding Waldstadion Homburg in the historical narrative of German professional football.
Throughout its long history, Waldstadion Homburg has hosted:
Bundesliga fixtures during FC Homburg’s top-flight campaign
Numerous regional and national league matches
Promotion and relegation battles across different tiers of German football
Cup matches that attracted large regional interest
With a capacity of 16,000, the stadium is well suited to high-intensity league football, providing a compact atmosphere that enhances home advantage during decisive matches.
Originally constructed in the pre-war era, Waldstadion Homburg has undergone multiple upgrades and renovations to remain operational and compliant with evolving safety and league standards. While retaining its traditional character, the venue has seen improvements in:
Spectator stands and safety infrastructure
Player and matchday operational facilities
Pitch maintenance systems
Media and technical areas
These upgrades have ensured the stadium’s continued use in organized league football while preserving its historical identity.
As competitive football standards evolved, modern stadium lighting became essential for evening matches, player performance, and broadcast visibility.
MECREE provides professional LED sports stadium intelligent lighting solutions, including venue simulation design and electrical installation guidance. For venues such as Waldstadion Homburg, modern LED lighting systems offer:
High illuminance levels suitable for competitive football
Excellent uniformity across the playing surface
Reduced glare for players, referees, and spectators
Improved visibility for media coverage and photography
Energy efficiency and reduced long-term operating costs
Intelligent LED lighting upgrades allow historic stadiums to meet modern match requirements without compromising their traditional structure.
Waldstadion Homburg remains a key football venue in Saarland, supporting:
FC Homburg home league matches
Youth development programs
Regional football events and community activities
The stadium continues to symbolize the club’s identity and the city’s football heritage, linking historic Bundesliga memories with present-day competition.

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.
