Chelsea FC is to install 250 metres of LED-based banners displays at its Stamford Bridge stadium.

Philips will supply the LED panels and application system. It also supplied two 40m sq. LED video screens that were installed in 1999.

“Chelsea FC is a world recognised football club and Stamford Bridge is our platform to the sports world. Our ongoing partnership with Philips is helping us to achieve this,” said Chris Gleeson, facilities manager at Chelsea Football Club.

“This continues our nine year relationship,” said Frank Kauffmann, MD Philips Vidiwall.

The digital signage will be up and running in time for next season.
