With four months to go until the Amsterdam 2016 European Athletics Championships (6-10 July), European Athletics is launching the media accreditation procedure for written press and photographers.
In consultation with the Local Organising Committee in Amsterdam and based on attendance at past European Athletics Championships, European Athletics has set the country quotas for written press and photographers.
We have provided the quotas to the European Athletics Member Federations who are responsible for selecting the journalists who will be part of their respective quotas. Please contact your respective Member Federation to confirm if you are part of the quota. They will distribute the website link to those part of the quota.
For your information, the deadline for media to request an accreditation with official media hotel accommodation is 16 April 2016.
The following two media hotels are selected as official media hotels:
