The world's gaze falls on Brazil and its brand-new soccer stadia, in which 32 international teams compete over a period of four weeks. The stage for the competition: the pitch. Powerful metal halide lamps by OSRAM and its subsidiary Radium provide extremely powerful and reliable pitch illumination in seven of the twelve stadia.

In addition, OSRAM equipped Brazilian soccer stadia with technological highlights that are currently unique anywhere in the world. For the players on the pitch, the spectators on the terraces and the millions of soccer fans watching their TV screens.
