SCHRÉDER, PARTNER FOR LIGHTING THE 2014 FIFA WORLD CUP STADIUM IN BRAZIL
Mineirão Stadium
An expert in lighting sporting venues, Schréder delivered full scope solutions for several stadia including Mineirão Stadium, Maracanã Arena, Estádio Nacional and Arena das Dunes.
The second largest football stadium in Brazil, Mineirão Stadium in Belo Horizonte was renovated in 2013 to host the 2014 FIFA World Cup and 2016 Summer Olympics. The architectural office BCMF Arquitetos re-designed the stadium to feature:
64,000 seats and 2,100 VIP seats
2,569 parking spaces
A tribune for 3,000 journalists and 390 commentators
Solar energy panels
Schréder worked with the lighting design office Arquitetura e Luz to provide a complete and sustainable lighting solution for the entire stadium, from the football pitch to the esplanade, from the helipad to the car park.
The lighting meets the important needs of the players whilst minimising light pollution and glare for spectators. It also satisfies the strictest criteria defined for high definition television broadcasting to avoid flickering and capture sharp and vivid images for viewers at home.
Schréder also illuminated the façade with a dynamic RGB LED solution and all monuments on the grounds.
