Media accreditation process

The media accreditation process for written press, photographers, video journalists and non-rights holder media will be managed through the FIFA Media Hub. Media representatives with an approved FIFA Media Hub account can access the accreditation form here (https://apo-opa.info/3r9ZQgl).

Media representatives who do not yet have a FIFA Media Hub account can complete the online registration form here (https://apo-opa.info/3H9E6Ws).

Please note that approval to access the FIFA Media Hub does not mean that you have been granted accreditation for the competition. Once you have received your FIFA Media Hub username and created your password, you can proceed to complete the accreditation form in the FIFA U-17 World Cup Indonesia 2023 section of the FIFA Media Hub.

All applications are subject to confirmation and will not be processed on a first come, first served basis. Successful applicants will be notified and provided with further information in due course.
