Overview
The AS Trenčín football stadium (also known as Štadión Sihoť) is a multi-purpose stadium located in Trenčín, Slovakia. Mostly used for football matches, this 105mx68m stadium with a capacity of 6,366 people is the home ground of AS Trenčín Football Club. It was built in 1960 and has undergone many renovations since then.
Challenges
In terms of advertisement, the main issue of the client was their reliance on traditional printed advertisements, which could be very expensive and costly. Flexibly selling ads was not possible either (e.g. ads for a specific period). They needed a comprehensive display solution that could accommodate the modern needs of the stadium, while also confirming to industry standards. In addition, keeping spectators, staff and players safe is also imperative during each game and event, requiring a robust security system that can monitor all critical areas at all times.
Solutions
As part of the company’s commitment to delivering world-class facilities, Dahua has equipped the stadium with a cutting-edge LED perimeter system, designed to meet and exceed the stringent UEFA Category 4 standards. This classification demands exceptional reliability and redundancy, ensuring all critical systems remain operational even under unforeseen circumstances, such as power outages or technical failures. The redundant setup guarantees uninterrupted performance, providing a seamless and professional experience for players, fans, and broadcasters alike.
The LED panels are built with durability and functionality in mind. Engineered to withstand high-impact collisions, they remain fully operational even after powerful strikes from footballs or when players collide with them at full speed. This robust design ensures that the panels maintain their high-definition display quality while standing up to the physical demands of intense matches. By integrating durability and cutting-edge technology, the panels enhance the viewing experience for fans in the stadium and those watching via broadcast, offering vibrant visuals and reliable performance.
Moreover, the LED perimeter system is not only functional but also adaptable to a wide range of events, providing a dynamic platform for sponsor visibility and fan engagement. Whether it’s displaying vibrant advertisement, match statistics, or critical updates, the system adapts seamlessly to the needs of each event, adding value for stakeholders while elevating the overall experience for fans.
In addition to modern display upgrades, an advanced security camera system was also implemented to ensure security and safety both inside and outside the stadium. Strategically placed cameras provide 360-degree coverage of key areas, enabling real-time monitoring and rapid response to any incidents. This sophisticated system enhances safety for visitors, staff, and players, creating a secure environment for everyone during events of any scale.
Results
With these technological upgrades from Dahua, the AS Trenčín football stadium has transformed into a premier venue capable of hosting high-profile international matches and events. By combining innovative technology, robust safety measures, and a focus on quality, this project has created a facility that sets a new benchmark for modern sports infrastructure, fully prepared to meet the demands of today’s most prestigious competitions.
“Now we can sell dynamically changing advertisements that capture the attention of fans and also adjust the content flexibly, for example, when a goal is scored,” said Mr. Igor Schlesinger, Marketing and Sales Director of AS Trenčín Football Club.
