Article 65 Accreditations and access rights - Women's Under-17

65.01

For the qualifying competition, the host association is responsible for organising a media accreditation system (accreditation cards, bibs, etc.) and for delivering the relevant accreditations to the following media representatives:

• press;

• photographers;

• audiovisual rights holders;

• audiovisual non-rights holders.

65.02

No media representatives are allowed to go on to the field of play before, during or after the match, with the exception of the host broadcaster camera crew covering the team line-ups at the start of the match and up to two host broadcaster camera crews filming the teams after the end of the match. The same applies to the tunnel and dressing-room area, with the exception of flash interview positions and a camera of the host broadcaster filming the following activities:

1. team arrivals (as far as to the dressing-room area);

2. players in the tunnel prior to entering the field (before the match);

3. players returning to the pitch at the start of the second half.

65.03

A limited number of photographers, camera operators and production staff of the audiovisual rights holders – all equipped with the appropriate pitch-access accreditation – are allowed in the area between the boundaries of the field of play and the spectators.

65.04

The team dressing rooms are off limits to media representatives before, during and after the match. However, subject to the teams’ prior agreement, one camera crew of the host broadcaster may enter the dressing rooms to film the players’ shirts and equipment. This filming must be completed well before the arrival of the players, at least 90 minutes before kick-off. Any additional dressing room access for media (e.g. for post-match celebrations) must be agreed in advance with the relevant team for the qualifying competition and with both the relevant team and UEFA for the final tournament.

65.05

A position in the main stand should be foreseen for a camera crew from each team to conduct technical filming. Generally they should be in a central position or a position agreed by the teams and the local press officer.
