The remodeled facilities of the Benito Villamarín stadium, headquarters of the Real Betis Football, will have Philips Lighting as the official lighting supplier of the verdiblanco club, fruit of the agreement between both entities by which the Dutch manufacturer will provide Led systems the field of play, as well as some areas inside the Sevillian stadium.

This agreement to provide efficient Led lighting to the stadiums is in addition to those recently reached by Philips Lighting with other football clubs of the First Division of La Liga in Spain, like Atlético de Madrid – Wanda Metropolitano (more data in this daily) or the one recently signed with Sevilla FC – Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan (see Digital AV).

The common denominator of these Led lighting projects is to improve both the experience of the fans - both inside and for television broadcasting, according to La Liga standards and also in 4K- such as the energy efficiency of the enclosure.
