Media Accreditation

Successful applicants will be notified by FIBA; completing the application form does not automatically guarantee accreditation.

A proper and valid, electronic version of a portrait photo (headshot) of the applicant must be part of an applicant’s profile in the Portal.

Applications that do not include a proper and valid photo may not be considered.

In order to be considered for media credentials, an applicant must represent a bona fide media organization that produces and publishes original content.

Applications for media credentials by club officials, agents and scouts, book authors, fan bloggers, or media that do not produce original content (based on the generally accepted news gathering criteria) will not be considered.

Freelancers (writers, photographers and videographers) may be asked by FIBA to prove that they are on assignment with a media outlet in order in order to be considered for credentials.

Credentials are awarded on the basis of the professional history of the applying media, relevance to the event and basketball in general, as well as space availability in the different venues.

For any accreditation or media services questions, please contact media.operations@fiba.basketball.
