General

In general, an accreditation card is proof authority to access specific zones to carry out a function. It will contain alpha-numeric and colour-coded card holder categories and numbered Accreditation Zones. The listed zones on each card will indicate the specific access privileges for each individual.

Each Team Member will receive an accreditation card, which must be worn at all times and should be clearly visible. The accreditation is not transferable and does not allow the holder to take another person beyond checkpoints.  The holder is granted access rights ONLY to the zones indicated on the front and shall use the designated entrances accordingly. It remains European Athletics property and can be withdrawn at any time.

Registration Procedure

Registration of all Team Members has to be done through European Athletics’ entries system, during the Final Entries which will be open from 19 July to 8 August 2022 (14:00 CET)

Please note:

Each accreditation requires a photo (passport type), which needs to be uploaded by the Final Entries deadline. Please upload all photos as a jpeg file. Each photo must not exceed 1.0Mb in size. Only completed registrations including photos can be produced in advance and thus speed up the issuing process on site. Team Members with no photo uploaded in advance will have to go to the Team Accreditation Centre (TAC) in person to have a photo taken and pick up the accreditation card.

Accreditation cards will be printed in advance, based on the information provided by the Member Federation through the European Athletics entry system. No changes will be accepted after the Final Entries’ deadline.

Accreditation Procedure

Upon arrival the Team Leaders will be taken directly to the Team Accreditation Centre (TAC) to go through the accreditation process and pick up all Team Members’ accreditation cards. In case of early or late arrivals, accreditation formalities shall be carried out the next day, or as soon as possible.

The Team Leader will be asked to complete the following formalities before they can collect the accreditation cards for the whole team:

  • LOC accommodation invoice
  • Uniform check
  • Collection of competition related forms and information
  • Confirmation of departure details

Please note: Anyone picking up one or more accreditations at the Delivery Desk has to sign for them.

Unauthorised use of an Accreditation card will result in the card being confiscated.

Loss or damage of accreditation card

A lost accreditation card is a potential security risk and will be treated very carefully by the security authorities. Any lost or damaged accreditation cards should be reported immediately to the Team Accreditation Centre or to the Main Accreditation Centre (Olympiapark München, Spiridon-Louis-Ring 3, 80809 Munich). In case of losing the accreditation card, a fee of €100 will be charged for the replacement.
