The Egypt International Olympic City, a stunning multi-purpose sports complex, was built over four years, from 2019 to 2023. Situated in eastern Cairo within the New Administrative Capital (NAC), an administrative and financial centre in the heart of the desert, which was announced by the Egyptian Ministry of Housing in 2015 as Egypt’s future capital city and that has been under development ever since.
Spanning over 180 hectares, the complex features a vast indoor area for a wide range of sports, including Olympic swimming, tennis, squash, basketball, hockey, archery, and even horse racing. It also boasts hotels, a sports medicine centre, and an open-air theatre, blending sport and culture.
This state-of-the-art facility, meticulously designed and outfitted, is now ready to host major international sporting events, including the FIFA World Cup. Egypt has even put forward its bid to host the 2036 Summer Olympics, marking the first time an African country has made such a bid.
A standout feature of the Egypt International Olympic City is undoubtedly its stadium, designed by the Italian firm SHESA Architectural Design. With a seating capacity of nearly 94,000, it is the largest stadium in Egypt and the second largest in Africa, only behind Johannesburg&#8217;s FB Stadium.
Although the Egyptian national football team had its training camp here in 2023, the official opening was celebrated in March 2024 with a friendly match between Egypt and New Zealand.
For top-notch lighting in such a prestigious sports complex, it was no surprise that Disano, a company renowned globally for its outstanding sports lighting, was chosen for the job. Their fixtures are used to illuminate arenas and sports facilities of all sizes and types, both in Italy and worldwide.
The project included installing the cutting-edge Forum 2.0 LED floodlights, which offer both symmetrical and asymmetrical optics, various beam angles, and different wattages. These fixtures are known for their outstanding performance, providing very high colour temperatures and an excellent colour rendering index. Their reliability, durability, and robustness set them apart, placing them at the forefront of lighting technology.
Thanks to these exceptional lighting qualities, the floodlight installed by Disano meets the mandatory demands for light efficiency and visual well-being imposed by global competitions and international governing bodies.
Forum 2.0 LED floodlights are the ideal choice, as well as the best alternative to traditional light sources, for achieving efficient, precise, and evenly distributed lighting. These qualities are particularly crucial for high-definition television broadcasts.
Moreover, the choice of Forum floodlights aligns with a commitment to environmentally friendly lighting, thanks to their low pollutant emissions and significant reductions in both energy and maintenance costs.
The lighting system also includes DMX (Digital MultipleX) drivers and a centralised console that allows for complete control and optimal management of the light output, further reducing energy consumption and enabling dynamic light effects.
Spectacle is now guaranteed at sporting events in the arena of the Egyptian International Olympic City. The lights installed by Disano not only ensure top-notch visibility for players and spectators but are also well-directed, safe, eco-friendly and create stunning and vibrant light scenes.
