Media Accreditation procedure


The World Athletics Accreditation Registration System allows media representatives to apply for accreditation in order to cover the World Athletics Indoor Championships Glasgow24 . The deadline for journalists and photographers to apply for accreditation is 9 February 2024.

The accommodation deadline is 18 January 2024.
Please note, all requests will be managed on a case-by-case basis, and availability and rates are guaranteed until the 18th January 2024.

In order to access the system the first time, the user needs a specific Access Code.

WARNING - the registration form must be filled in using Latin characters.

NEW REGISTRATION

After having entered the Access Code, the user will be requested to click on the "Proceed" button as if he/she never applied online for any WA event.

Once the registration procedure has been completed, the user will receive an email acknowledging that the data has been successfully received. In the same message the user will also find a reminder of his/her personal login details (first name, family name and date of birth) to be used after the first registration for all subsequent access to the system.

Completion of the registration process does not automatically guarantee accreditation.

Once the application has been examined and approved by WA (or the National Federation for the Host Country) the user will receive a confirmation by email.

In the registration form section, besides the personal data to be filled in, the user finds two additional tabs: Travel and Accommodation. 

Travel and Accommodation

In this section it is possible to fill in the travel details and select the hotel. Once the process is completed your accommodation request will be sent to the accommodation department, which will contact you directly in order to finalize the booking.   

The accommodation deadline is 18 January 2024. Bookings will be handed on a "first come, first served" basis.   Please note, all requests will be managed on a case-by-case basis and availability is not guaranteed. However, the accommodation team will do all they can to assist you in this process.

ACCESS / MODIFY

In order to modify personal data, or add more information, the user will be able to access the system at any time using the login details: first name, family name, date of birth and password.

Once the accreditation request is approved, all data will be locked. Any further changes will be managed only by email: mediaopsWIC24@uka.org.uk
