The symbol of the fight against all forms of racial inequality and a fervent supporter of the rights of the black citizens of South Africa, Nelson Mandela became the first black president of South Africa in 1994, a position which he held until 1999. And it is to him that the Algerian capital city has decided to dedicate a brand-new arena in Baraki, a small town in the province of Algiers.
Inaugurated in January 2023, the Nelson Mandela football stadium, with a capacity of over 40,000 seats, hosted the debut match of the African Nations Championship, disputed by eighteen national teams composed only of footballers playing on the African continent.
As in every modern sports facility, particular attention was paid to lighting. Sports federations and international bodies, such as FIFA and CONI, impose precise criteria for the lighting system, as it must ensure maximum lighting efficiency, avoid glare and guarantee luminous stability, for the visual well-being of athletes and spectators. In addition, high-definition television demands lighting of the highest quality in order to ensure perfect reproduction even for those following the matches on screens.
Given the many complex requirements, the lighting project was entrusted to Disano, a world leader in the lighting of arenas and sports venues of all sizes. The Milan-based company installed Forum, the ultimate quality floodlight for sports lighting. Ideal for every size and type of arena, Forum stands out for its high luminous efficacy, reliability, and respect for people&#8217;s eye sight. The luminous flux is stable, glare-free and with a good colour rendering index.
Disano&#8217;s products, such as Rodio and Giovi, were also selected for the lights outside the Algerian stadium. These streetlights are characterised by a very high-quality luminous flux, being stable (flicker-free), with a high colour rendering index and an appropriate colour temperature. All this was possible thanks to its LED sources, which are the only type of sources that can also allow a reduction in polluting emissions and energy costs. The light emitted is therefore perfect for outdoor spaces, from car parks to transit areas and walkways, benefiting not only the safety and visual comfort of users but also the well-being of the surrounding environment.
The Nelson Mandela Stadium as well as its outdoor areas were illuminated with top-class, efficient, energy-saving and safe lighting thanks to the advanced light sources of Disano’s fixtures.
