Palermo FC announces that on the occasion of the Palermo-Sampdoria match, the 16th matchday of the 2025-2026 Serie BKT Championship, scheduled for Friday 12 December 2025 at 8.30 p.m. at the Renzo Barbera Stadium, media accreditation requests must be sent exclusively by email to [email protected] no later than 12 noon on Monday 8 December.
All accreditation requests must be written on headed paper, signed by the director in charge and, by law, must be complete with:
– name, surname, date and place of birth;
– OdG card number for journalists;
– identity document number for technicians;
– 2025-2026 LNPB permit number for photographers.
Each newspaper will be allowed to request only for 1 accreditation for a journalist already in possession of a Journalists’ Order Card.
Radio and television broadcasters in possession of 2025-2026 LNPB authorization will only be able to accredit journalists present in the list communicated to the Lega B Broadcasting Office and present in the Lega B Portal. Access by technicians of the same broadcasters is subject to current AGCOM provisions: 1 journalist + 1 technician for radio and television broadcasters in possession of authorization to exercise the right to report; 1 journalist + 2 technicians or 2 journalists + 1 technician for broadcasters holding other types of rights.
As required by national regulations, the Company reserves the right to select and consequently reject accreditation requests, even if received within the communicated deadline, if the number of them exceeds the available capacity of the Press Stand and/or if the requests do not possess the necessary requirements (e.g. newspapers which do not include those linked to football and, in particular, to Palermo FC or the opposing team among the main topics covered continuously). Requests received after the date and time indicated will be automatically rejected.
In the case of selection based on limited availability, priority will be given to Media outlets already accredited in the previous season. Requests received after the specified date and time will be automatically rejected.
At the end of the accreditation request selection operations, exclusively in the event of a rejected request, the Palermo FC Press Office will send a communication via email within 48 hours of the start of the match. The selection of requests from Information Operators following the opposing team will be carried out in collaboration with the respective Club Press Office.
RITIRO ACCREDITI MEDIA
Gli Operatori dell’Informazione regolarmente accreditati alla gara potranno accedere dai varchi di prefiltraggio dello stadio tramite lista nominativa e, a partire da due ore prima dell’inizio del match, potranno ritirare il proprio pass stampa all’Ingresso Media della Tribuna Coperta presso il desk presidiato da personale steward.
PICKING UP MEDIA ACCREDITATION PASS
Information Operators regularly accredited for the match will be able to access the pre-filtering gates of the stadium via a list of names and, starting two hours before the start of the match, they will be able to collect their press pass at the Press Entrance of the Covered Grandstand at the stand manned by steward staff.
VIDEO AND PHOTOGRAPHIC RECORDINGS DURING MATCH DAY
The Lega B informs that it is strictly forbidden to take video or photographic images with cameras, smartphones, or tablets that capture both the audience and the game (e.g., warm-ups, celebrations, substitutions) for live or delayed broadcasts on any television or social media platform, whether for media or private profiles.
The Legislative Decree of 9 January 2008 governing the ownership and marketing of sports audio rights relating to the right to report on events specifies that both highlights and related images may only be made available by the event producer (the club or, alternatively, the League itself). No other party is therefore authorised to take photographs or videos.
Only television broadcasters in possession of a 2025-2026 licence to exercise news reporting rights or other types of rights may film post-match interviews, while online outlets may only share content published on the clubs’ official channels via embed. Violation of these rules may result in the suspension of press accreditation directly by Lega B.
Accredited journalists are strictly prohibited from recording, transmitting or otherwise making available:
- Audio, visual or audio-visual content of the match;
- Journalists are prohibited from making available in any way any statistics and/or data relating to the match and the players for use in connection with betting activities or real-time results services.
POST MATCH ACTIVITIES
In compliance with current federal protocols, until otherwise communicated, Palermo FC’s post-match interviews will be carried out in the stadium’s press room (2nd floor South Tower), with the exception of interviews by broadcasters who are licensees or holders of other types of rights with respect to the right of the press which will be located in the Privileged Area and/or Mixed Zone (ground floor).
The post-match interviews of the visiting team will be carried out according to the methods established by the respective Press Office.
After the match, the Press Stand will be available to Press Operators exclusively up to three hours after the start of the match.
