UEFA Champions League final media details

UEFA has announced media accreditation details for the 2008/09 UEFA Champions League final at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on Wednesday 27 May, kicking off at 20.45 CET.

8 May deadline
Applications for media accreditation must be made before the deadline on Friday 8 May – two days after the second semi-final has been completed. Non-broadcast media who are already registered with UEFA via the FAME portal on uefa.com must apply using http://media.fame.uefa.com. Non-rights holding radio and non-rights holding television applicants must use the http://broadcasters.fame.uefa.com portal.

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 representatives are asked to make specific telecom requests via their national telecom company as soon as they receive accreditation confirmation from UEFA after 11 May.

Unforeseen circumstances
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.

Registering in FAME
Individual media representatives not yet registered in FAME may do so via: http://www.uefa.com/MIUFAMEregistration. (Registration guidelines: http://www.uefa.com/multimediafiles/download/uefa/keytopics/515823_download.pdf)
