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. 

Accreditation Centre

The Teams’ Accreditation Centre will be located at Official Teams Hotels:
Park Hotel Diament Katowice
Novotel Katowice Centrum
Vienna Easy House Katowice
This is where the Team Leader shall report as soon as they receive the information from the medical team that they can proceed to the accreditation centre, 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
  Wednesday   9:0020:00
  Thursday   9:0020:00  
Friday 9:0020:00

In case of arrival outside of the opening times, Team Leaders are kindly requested to report to the Teams’ Accreditation on the next morning.

Accreditation Procedure

Accreditation cards will be prepared in advance, based on the information provided by the Member Federation through the European Athletics event management system. No changes will be accepted after the final entries deadline.

The Team Leader will be asked to complete the following formalities before he/she can collect the accreditation cards for any of their team members being negative :

  • LOC accommodation invoice
  • Check of athletes` passport (or copy)

Any lost or damaged accreditation cards should be reported to the MAC. 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 team seating area, warm-up area and training areas, changing facilities and physiotherapy rooms. Only athletes who are about to compete will have access to the call room and to the infield. Furthermore, the accreditation can be used to access the Team Shuttle Buses.

European Athletics shall provide special passes as required for the following categories:

  • Field events coaching area (1 per athlete)
