Built in 1948, General Santander Stadium in Cúcuta, Colombia, has been an integral part of the city's football heritage for generations. It has witnessed countless memorable matches and the enduring passion of local fans.


On August 19, 2026, night-time football returned to the stadium after nearly three years, as a new LED lighting system was officially commissioned. Four floodlight towers once again illuminated the pitch, bringing the excitement of evening matches back to the city.


With STIL LED involved in driving the lighting upgrade, Sosen contributed high-efficiency, low-power-consumption, and reliable LED driver solutions to support the stable operation of the new lighting system. Together, advanced lighting technology and the passion for football are bringing the stadium back to life after dark.


Four Floodlight Towers, One Brighter Future for Match Nights


Professional sports lighting is about much more than simply illuminating a pitch.


From capturing players' movements at high speed to delivering a clear viewing experience for spectators, stadium lighting must also meet the demanding requirements of high-definition television broadcasting. This calls for consistent light output and reliable performance under demanding operating conditions.


With the new LED lighting system now in operation, General Santander Stadium has enhanced its capabilities for night-time sporting events. The upgraded lighting facilities have undergone technical testing and certification by the Win Sports technical team, supporting the requirements of night matches and television broadcasts.
