Sunderland AFC invests in lighting upgrade

SAPCA member, Thorn, and Zumtobel – lighting brands of the Zumtobel Group – have announced a partnership with English Championship club, Sunderland AFC, to provide a comprehensive lighting upgrade at the club’s home venue, Stadium of Light. The project represents part of the club’s most significant investment in its stadium in over two decades and aligns with Sunderland AFC’s long-term sustainability goals, including its aim to become energy self-sufficient by 2028.

The lighting upgrade has delivered an improved matchday experience for fans, both in-stadium and watching live on TV – due to flicker measurements and light level assessments. The project extends beyond the stadium itself, encompassing the club’s training facilities.
