FIFA (International Federation of Association Football) does not have a unified mandatory standard for the size of LED screens used in top-tier events such as the World Cup. However, based on practical event applications and stadium design requirements, the following common specifications are usually followed:
Main Screen Size
Most professional football stadiums install rectangular LED screens behind the goals or on the sides of the stands, with a single screen size typically ranging from 8 meters (height) × 12 meters (width) to 10 meters × 20 meters. For example:
Some stadiums at the 2018 Russia World Cup used screens approximately 9.6 meters × 17.6 meters.
The circular screen at Lusail Stadium for the 2022 Qatar World Cup had a single panel height of approximately 8 meters, with a total length of several hundred meters.
Circular Screen Design
Modern stadiums often use strip-shaped LED screens surrounding the stands, with a height generally ranging from 1.5 meters to 3 meters, and the total length determined by the circumference of the stands (e.g., the circular screen at the Qatar World Cup stadium had a total length of approximately 550 meters).
Resolution and Aspect Ratio
The screen aspect ratio is mostly 16:9 or 4:3, and the pixel pitch is usually 10mm-20mm to ensure visibility from a distance.
Screens in Other Areas
Auxiliary screens may be installed near the corner flags or substitute benches, with smaller dimensions (approximately 3 meters × 5 meters).
Note: Specific dimensions need to be customized based on the stadium's architectural structure and event requirements. It is recommended to consult the venue management or FIFA technical documents for accurate data.
