Media Accreditation

Foreign media representatives and all other accredited media representatives can collect their accreditation at the Event Venue, Givat Ram Stadium, Museum Boulevard, from the official Media entrance at the ticket box office. Accreditation cards can be collected only when the mandatory sanitary protocol rules have been followed.

Each media representative receives an accreditation card, which must be worn at all times and should be clearly visible. Security personnel will control all areas. Media accreditation cards allow access to the Media Centre, Media Tribune and Mixed Zone. All access to other zones is limited.

Accreditation is not transferable and does not allow the holder to take another person beyond checkpoints.

Any lost or damaged accreditation cards should immediately be reported to Media Centre or any information desk. Duplicate cards can be obtained where proof of identity is established. Unauthorised use of an accreditation card will result in the card being confiscated.

Schedule of Media accreditation opening:

• 3rd July 14:00 – 19:00
• all days of the championship between 7:00- 22:00
