Terms and conditions for accreditation requests for international matches and events organised by the FIGC.

Accreditation requests for International home games and FIGC events are done through the Online system of accreditation

On the above website, it is possible to make a request for Media Accreditation, after completing the mandatory registration, as outlined below:

1. ‘Multiple Users’ - profile reserved for the national ‘written press’ media outlets. Subject to activation via credentials, to be requested from the FIGC Press Office (press@figc.it), this profile allows you to manage requests for all the newspaper’s employees (reporter or photographer).

2. ‘Audio & Video’ - profile reserved for broadcasters (TV and Radio stations) NON RIGHTS HOLDERS (NRH). As for the ‘Multiple Users’, it is subject to activation via credentials, to be requested from the FIGC Press Office (press@figc.it).

3. Single User - reserved for freelancers and Websites.

Once registration is completed, for each event/competition:

• The national news outlets will be able to make an accreditation request for a maximum of two journalists and one photographer (written press); two journalists and two TV operators (TV NRH), or one journalist (Radio NRH).
• The local outlets can carry out a request for only one journalist.

Please note the following:

1. The requests for Media accreditation from ‘Freelancers’ must be authorised by the newspaper’s news director through necessary letter of assignment (documentation to be attached).
2. Accreditation for international media will be possible only and exclusively to journalists registered to approved National Press Association (e.g. the Ordine dei Giornalisti in Italy) or holding an AIPS card (International Sports Press Association).
   2.1 When applying for accreditation, it is mandatory either for RHs / NRHs TV broadcasters and Media content providers (Video service) that crew shall be assembled as follows: 1 reporter (holder of National or AIPS press card) + 1 cameraman; or 1 video-journalist (holder of National or AIPS press card);
3. The maximum number of permitted photographers for each meeting is determined by the space available pitch side.
4. Access to the work areas the day before and on Matchday could be limited according to the capacity of the same areas and regulated by the concession of supplementary accreditation devices (SAD). It will in any case be possible for all accredited participants to follow press conferences through closed- circuit monitors installed at the stadium’s press area in the stands, or on the online platform, where activated.

Terms for accreditation requests. The procedures for accreditations for all events will be concluded no later than the indicated date and time. Therefore, it will not be possible to submit requests beyond the established deadline. Whatever accreditation requests sent by email, WhatsApp or in ways other than those expressly specified will not be taken into consideration.

Confirmations/Refusals of accreditation will be communicated only after the closing of the indicated accreditation window. Please note that sending an accreditation request is subject to evaluation by the event organisers and therefore does not automatically approve entry.

Cancellation request for accreditation/Refusals of accreditation. Media requesting accreditation who are then unable to cover the event for whatever reason, are invited to promptly notify the FIGC Press Office using the email address press@figc.it. Communications received after the closing time of the “Media accreditation” ticket office on the day of the match will be seen as a “no-show”, binding until accreditation is given for subsequent events.

Conditions of access and press activities at FIGC Technical Centre in Coverciano (CTF). Access for photographers is only permitted for the first day of training camp. Before rights centralization, cameras inside the CTF (video journalists and cameramen) are not allowed, with the exception of the RH broadcaster. The FIGC will provide upon request the audiovisual recording and distribution of images relating to: a) press conferences; b) training sessions.

Below are the technical specifications and contacts to activate the service:

The Italian Host Broadcaster and the Main Visiting Broadcaster (MVB), limited to the relevant match, will be able to acquire the LIVE signal through their own means on site. The Non-Right Holders will have access to the images at the end of the press conference and training through an FTP, which is to be used exclusively as defined in the licence agreement that will be signed by each individual newspaper.
