Accreditation advisory for Knockout Matches

We will open the non-Rights Holders’ match-day accreditation process for the semi-finals and final on Saturday, 11th November, at 10h00 Indian Standard Time. You will have time until 17h00 on Monday, 13th November to apply for these matches.

You will need to log on to the accreditation portal to make a selection of your matches.

Please note that you will need to upload a letter from your Editor/Sports Editor/Photo Chief on a company letterhead to confirm that you have been assigned to cover the matches selected. Any application not supported by such a letter or if the contents of the letter conflict with your selection, your application will not be considered.

Match selections cannot be changed once submitted and applying for matches does not guarantee you match-day seats. The match-day lists will be drawn up keeping in mind the participating teams and preference will be given to the media from those countries.

Accredited media who have attended tournament matches regularly will be given preference over others who are also accredited but have missed matches without informing us or have only opted to cover select matches. Only those already accredited for the tournament will be allowed to apply.

We will send out another advisory to confirm the opening of the accreditation portal.
