Félix Houphouët-Boigny was the first President of Ivory Coast, holding office for thirty-three years, from 1960 to 1993. Under his leadership, the African state experienced a period of great prosperity and economic development, so much so that it was known as the Ivorian miracle. During renovations to host the Abidjan Games, the town&#8217;s main stadium, originally named Géo André in memory of the French Olympic athlete in 1952, was rightfully dedicated to Félix Houphouët-Boigny in 1964.
The stadium presents itself as a multifunctional facility primarily hosting football matches. Additionally, it accommodates events in various sports like athletics and rugby, along with social gatherings. In 2017, after undergoing additional modernisation works, the Félix Houphouët-Boigny Stadium played host to the Francophonie Games, which include both sporting and cultural events.
More recently, in 2023, the stadium was once again inaugurated after another series of renovations with the friendly match between the Ivory Coast and Morocco. Great attention was given to the lighting system, designed with a focus on high-performance and innovative technology. This is why the choice fell on the lighting fixtures made by Disano, an Italian manufacturing leader in the lighting of outdoor and indoor sporting events. Notably, the installation featured Disano&#8216;s premier sports lighting solution, Forum LED. There are many reasons for this decision.
First and foremost, Forum presents itself as an extremely durable and high-performance floodlight, reliable and designed to meet the demands for luminous efficiency and visual well-being dictated by world competitions and imposed by important international bodies such as FIFA. The fixture&#8217;s LED sources stand out for their excellent colour rendering (5700K) and a stable, efficient light output that allows truly remarkable energy savings.
In addition, Disano&#8216;s floodlight allows precise field illumination, while facilitating high-definition TV coverage.
The new Félix Houphouët-Boigny Stadium now boasts state-of-the-art lighting, known for its high efficiency and precision. Such manufacturing excellence is possible thanks to the specialised skills and expertise of companies like Disano.
