The project to illuminate the Estadio Libertadores de América, the legendary stadium of Avellaneda, a port city of in the province of Buenos Aires – Argentine, the matches of Atlético Independiente.

The prestigious Club Altetico Independiente will host its 50,655 fans (and their opponents) under the lights of an important intelligent system integrating 5 different tailored optics, exclusively developed for the client. Why commit Khatod with the study of optics and lenses? Because starting from 2022 the South American Confederación de Fútbol, also known as “Conmebol”, will require a minimum of 1,300 lux on the field, thus raising the lighting systems’ required standards for Argentine stadiums.
