Inventronics is proud to support African football by enhancing the quality of stadium lighting at major venues in Tanzania and Uganda. Football enjoys widespread popularity across Africa, and Inventronics ensures that both players and fans stay ahead of the game with high-quality lighting solutions that meet international standards.
TANZANIA NATIONAL SPORTS COMPLEX
Project background
The Tanzania National Stadium, located in Dar es Salaam, is the country’s largest, seating up to 60,000 spectators. However, frequent thunderstorms during the monsoon season posed significant challenges to the stadium’s lighting, especially from April to September. Unstable lighting not only disrupted live broadcasts, but also hindered the development of professional players, making it harder to spot future football stars.
Inventronics´ solution
To address these issues, Inventronics deployed LED drivers from its EUM-MG series:
- Wide input voltage range: 90–305 V AC, matching local grid requirements
- Flexible dimming: supports consistent lighting and an interactive event atmosphere
- Protection against external influences: ingress protection rating of IP66/IP67, as well as surge protection of 6 kV DM and 10 kV CM, ensuring reliable overvoltage protection
The new lighting system now ensures stable, high-quality lighting to improve live broadcasts and ensure that athletes’ performances are no longer disrupted by lighting failures.
“We’re proud that the successful implementation of this lighting upgrade now provides the best possible lighting experience in our facilities.” (Local government official in Tanzania)
Following the upgrade, the stadium successfully hosted the opening match of the African Sur Club League, bei dem auch der FIFA-Präsident anwesend war – ein stolzer Moment, der die internationale Zusammenarbeit sichtbar machte.
UGANDA NATIONAL FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION: KADIBA FOOTBALL TRAINING GROUND
Project background
Inspired by the upgrades in Tanzania’s stadium when attending the African Super Club League, Ugandan officials decided to modernize the lighting at the KADIBA Football Training Ground—a crucial step in supporting the development of local football talent. Poor lighting during evening training not only posed a safety risk for players, but also limited the quality of training. To address the situation, the government launched a project to improve conditions.
Inventronics´ solution
Despite a tight two-month deadline, Inventronics delivered efficient results by:
- forming a dedicated project team;
- implementing its ESM-MG series drivers engineered to operate in Uganda’s three-phase high-voltage conditions (249–528 V AC);
- ensuring uniform, flicker-free lighting—perfect for training and competition
The upgraded KADIBA training ground now features:
- a brilliantly illuminated playing field;
- well-lit ancillary facilities;
- a safer, more professional training environment for Uganda’s emerging football talent
“We’re very satisfied with this collaboration. Inventronics’ products are top quality and highly reliable.” (Customer)
Thanks to Inventronics, a new generation of Ugandan footballers can now train under first-class lighting, shaping a promising future for the sport.
