The associations must communicate the times of their MD-1 press conferences and training sessions to UEFA and the opposing team via the TIME platform no later than 12:00 CET MD-6. Associations must work together to coordinate the timing of their MD-1 press conferences and training sessions, so that the media are able to cover the activities of both teams and the relevant media deadlines are respected.
Each team must open its training session the day before the match to the media for at least 15 minutes. If an association does not hold a full training session the day before the match, alternative arrangements must be made in agreement with UEFA to provide the media with access to a minimum of 15 minutes of the team’s preparation.
Each team must make its head coach and at least one player available to the media the day before the match. This may take the form of a press conference or individual interview opportunities. Ideally, these media activities will be staged at the match stadium, but they must, in any case, take place in the city where the match is to be played.
