EM i friidrett i Birmingham i august har nå åpnet for akkreditering.
Interesserte må melde seg til Norges Friidrettsforbund, som videreformidler koder til akkrediteringer.
Dette skjer til morten.olsen@friidrett.no.
Det er tre aktuelle kategorier: Digital Press - Photographer - Written Press.
I tillegg til kategori må han ha fornavn, etternavn og Email. Alle søknadene er personlige og siden videre dialog blir mellom søker og EA er det ønskelig med privat mail (ikke fellesmail).

Her er informasjonen fra arrangøren som er sendt ut:
European Athletics is pleased to announce that the media accreditation process for the Birmingham 2026 European Athletics Championships from 10-16 August will be open on 10 April.
As a first step, media representatives interested in attending and reporting on Birmingham 2026 need to contact their National Federation to express their interest.
National Federations are responsible for informing and nominating media representatives.
Each National Federation will then nominate media representatives in the system. After the nomination procedure is completed, journalists and photographers will receive a registration link to finalise their accreditation process.
For any additional information, please contact your respective Member Federation.
European Athletics and our Broadcast Partner EBU have designed a Virtual Media Centre – a browser-based platform – to allow all journalists and member federations to watch the live action (integrated and isolated feeds of the event coverage), ability to view, join and conduct mixed zone interviews, plus download and publish content from the mixed zone.
Media representatives who are unable to travel to Birmingham are invited to apply for remote media and the link will be published on European Athletics website in the later stage.
Please take note of the following deadlines:
Registration opening date: 10 April 2026
Registration closing date for accreditation: 15 June 2026
Registration closing date with accommodation: 1 July 2026
