At the top of the upper tier of the main stands, two camera platforms are installed in 

the central part of the tribune. One platform is located exactly on the half line and can 

contain 1 camera. The second platform is located directly next to it and can contain up 

to four cameras. Power is provided by the TV Compound. Cable routes are installed. 

• Pitchside halfway camera (B) 

Due to the very limited space between the touchline at the main stands, the players' 

benches and the players' tunnel, it is not possible to install a fixed pitchside halfway 

camera. A portable can be used, but not during match time. 

• Sixteen-metre cameras (C1, C2) 

At each of the 16m lines, a camera platform for 1 camera is installed in the upper tier 

of the main stands at exactly the same height as the main camera platform. 

• Behind-goal cameras (D) 

At the right hand side of the main stands, the area for the cameras is also an 

emergency evacuation route. One mount is available for to fix camera. A second 

camera can be placed on a light tripod with one extra assistant to remove the tripod 

when necessary. This remains always due to the authorisation of the local authorities. 

page 15

One beauty-shot camera is available under the roof at the corner of the main tribune 

and tribune 2. This is not an HD camera, but one can be installed on the same mount.

At the left hand side of the home team players' bench and at the right hand side of the 

visiting club players' bench there is limited space available for one portable camera 

each. 

• High behind-goal cameras (G1, G2) 

There is one camera platform installed in the upper tier of Tribune 4 (left hand side of 

the main stands). Camera G2 (Tribune 2) is not available due to the safety glass 

obstructing the view. 

• Reverse-angle cameras (H1, H2, H3, H4, H5) 

Two mounts are installed on top of the LED Boards to fix two reverse-angle cameras. 

Local authorities don't allow any reverse-angle cameras installed in the stands for 

security reasons.

The use of a six-metre camera is not foreseen.

The use of a rail camera on the opposite side of the main cameras is not possible, due 

to the limited space and the possible security risk it could cause (it would obstruct an 

emergency evacuation route). The use of a rail camera on the side of the main 

cameras would only be available with special permission by UEFA as the remaining 

space between the touchline and the camera would be extremely limited. 

• Steadicams (O1, O2)

coverage would preferably be installed on the left hand side of the main stands to
