In addition to traditional media representatives, a dedicated accreditation path is available for social media professionals. Accreditation will be granted by the ETTU and the LOC based on digital media criteria and space availability.
Social Media Content Creators and Field of Play (FoP) Access
To gain access to the Field of Play, social media content creators must:
- Submit a completed accreditation request through the official platform
- Include links to their active social media channels
- If representing a company, include the official media website
Once approved, content creators will receive official event bibs from the organizing committee. These bibs must be worn at all times while on the Field of Play and must be returned after each club match. Without an official bib, access to the FoP is strictly prohibited.
Club Social Media Representatives
Each participating club may register one social media content creator for Field of Play access. Only clubs currently playing in a match may have their representative on the FoP. The designated person must wear an official bib collected from the ETTU Media Manager and return it once the match concludes.
Due to limited space, no additional club media representatives will be allowed on the FoP during matches.
Field of Play Regulations
To ensure an undisturbed event environment, the following rules apply:
- A maximum of four social media content creators (excluding ETTU and LOC staff) are allowed per table
- Flash photography is not permitted
- Movement is restricted to timeouts and between games
- Only the following items are permitted on the FoP: one camera, one stool or chair, and one spare lens
- Laptops, bags, or any bulky equipment are not allowed
- Professional behavior and formal attire are mandatory at all times
ETTU reserves the right to revoke access or remove individuals who fail to comply with these rules.
Access to Mixed Zones and Press Tribune
Content creators may enter the mixed zone with prior approval from the ETTU Media Manager. They are also permitted to take photos from the press tribune, provided they do so discreetly and without disrupting others.
Social Media Collaboration and Tagging Guidelines
All accredited content creators are asked to:
- Use official event hashtags, mentions, and tags to align with the event’s digital branding
- When posting recorded points, invite ETTU as a collaborator on platforms such as Instagram or Facebook
- Collaborate with ETTU on a variety of content, including stories, reels, interviews, and behind-the-scenes material, to maximize engagement and visibility
