Stadium Masts Almere City, Smartly Lit, Smartly Designed
The Almere City FC stadium is a perfect example of how engineering and regulations can come together in a smart solution. While tall floodlight masts dominate the skyline in many stadiums, Almere has strict height restrictions due to permit requirements and the proximity of residential areas. Yet no compromises were made on light quality or visual appearance.
Compact design with maximum light output
To meet the requirements of both the local environment and the sports federation, six lower VDL masts were chosen. These masts are specially designed to accommodate sufficient fixtures and equipment within a limited height. Thanks to the enlarged masthead, there is extra space for multiple light fixtures without increasing the overall mast height.
This approach combines functional design with technical ingenuity: optimal light distribution, minimal light spillage, and a modern, sleek appearance that complements the character of the stadium.
Sustainable and future-proof
As with all sports lighting projects, VDL Sports Projects delivers more than just steel. The masts are built with sustainability, ease of maintenance, and integration of new technologies in mind.
