DHL Stadium sets new African benchmark with FIFA-certified stadium lighting

DHL Stadium has reached a remarkable milestone, becoming the first venue in the Southern Hemisphere, and the very first in Africa, to achieve FIFA field certification under the prestigious “FIFA Quality Programme for Floodlights – FIFA Quality Pro” standard.

This achievement marks a significant step forward for sports infrastructure on the continent, reinforcing Africa’s ability to meet and exceed global performance standards for professional sporting venues.

At the heart of this success is the installation of the OMNIBLAST floodlighting solution. Designed to deliver exceptional illumination performance, the OMNIBLAST ensures optimal visibility for players, officials, broadcasters and spectators alike, meeting the stringent technical and quality requirements set by FIFA.

The certification process involved rigorous testing to verify lighting performance, uniformity, glare control and overall compliance with international broadcasting and sporting standards. Achieving FIFA Quality Pro certification confirms that the lighting installation at DHL Stadium is capable of supporting top-tier international matches and televised events.

As the lighting manufacturer behind this landmark project, BEKA Schréder are proud to contribute to a development that not only elevates a world-class venue but also sets a new benchmark for stadium lighting across Africa and beyond.

This milestone reflects a continued commitment to innovation, quality and performance, ensuring that modern sports venues are equipped to deliver exceptional experiences on and off the field.

BEKA Schréder develops and manufactures energy-efficient LED lighting products in South Africa, designed and suitable for local conditions.
