Telecom requests
UEFA is only handling accreditation requests and is not responsible for ordering telephone lines, ISDN lines or any other form of communication facilities that might be required by media representatives. All international media are asked to make any special telecom requests via their national telecom company as soon as they receive accreditation confirmation from UEFA. There will be facilities for wi-fi internet connections from the press box at the Fenerbahçe Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium. In case of cancellation due to unforeseen circumstances, please immediately advise UEFA Media Accreditation Services by emailing fame_accreditations@uefa.ch. Media representatives who are not already registered with UEFA via the FAME portal will not be able to apply for accreditation until they have successfully completed the registration procedure.
