Baku 2015 European Games opens the press accreditation process for next summer’s inaugural sporting event on December 12.

Members of the press who wish to attend Baku 2015 must first register for access to the Press Extranet.

Press accreditation requirements only apply to members of the press. Rights-holding television and radio broadcasters should not submit requests for press accreditation.

The deadline to apply is March 6, 2015, and no further application will be accepted after that date.

In addition to accreditation information, the Extranet also has important information about the facilities and services that will be available to press during the European Games, as well as access to an extensive media library of pictures and videos.

Baku 2015 Chief Operating Officer Simon Clegg said: “The inaugural European Games will be a fantastic celebration of sport that will be enjoyed worldwide, and we are delighted to now be able to formally invite global press to join us here in Baku.”

“I would urge all members of the press who wish to attend to submit their accreditation requests as soon as possible,” he added.

Baku will host the first European Games next summer on June 12-28, involving more than 6,000 athletes from the National Olympic Committees of Europe across 17 days of competition, in what will be the largest sporting event in Azerbaijan’s history.
