General
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. Photos are not required for the accreditation card system.
Accreditation Centre
The Teams’ Accreditation Centre will be located at the Congress Centre. This is where the Team Leader shall report after he/she receives from the LOC the confirmation about the medical clearance of his/her team members, in order to carry out the administrative procedures.
The opening dates and times of the Teams’ Accreditation Centre will be as follows:
| Day | Open | Close |
| Thursday, 13 May 2021 | 10:00* | 20:00* |
| Friday, 14 May 2021 | 10:00* | 20:00* |
| Saturday, 15 May 2021 | 08:00 | 20:00 |
| Sunday, 16 May 2021 | 07:00 | 21:00 |
Accreditation Procedure
Accreditation cards will be prepared in advance, based on the information provided by the Member Federation in the final entries. No changes will be accepted after the final entries deadline.
The Team Leader will be asked to complete the following formalities before he can collect the accreditation cards for the whole team:
- LOC accommodation invoice
- Check of U20 athletes’ passport
- Uniform, flag and national anthem check
- Collection of competition related forms and information
- Confirmation of departure details
Any lost or damaged accreditation cards should be reported to the Teams’ Accreditation Centre (located at the Congress Centre). Duplicate cards can be obtained where proof of identity can be established at a charge of 50 €.
Unauthorised use of an Accreditation card will result in the card being confiscated.
Access Areas for Teams and Special Passes
All team accreditation cards will allow access to the course (for training purposes), changing facilities and physiotherapy rooms. Only athletes who are about to compete will have access to the call room and to the infield on the day of the event.
Please note that due to the Covid-19 situation:
– Team Press Liaisons will not be granted any media access, but with a special pass (Team mixed zone) they will be able to accompany their athletes while passing through the mixed zone (Team Press Liaisons remaining on the athletes side), and access some dedicated working facilities
– Heads of Delegation will only receive standard team accreditation, thus they will not be granted any VIP access,
– access to the TIC will be limited and controlled with a special TIC pass
– training is only allowed on the course and no public areas shall be used for this purpose
– on the day of the event a dedicated area in the courtyard of the nearby Gymnasium will be reserved for the athletes to do their warm-up
Special passes will be also distributed to access the personal refreshment stations of the Senior Races (up to 3 per team according to the number of athletes). Those special passes (together with the TIC and Team mixed zone passes) will be distributed during the accreditation procedure, upon signature of the Team Leader.
Access to the Doping Control Station: 1 pass will be given to the athlete upon notification and an additional pass for an accompanying person. Passes will be collected once they enter the Doping Control Station.
