At the Athletes’ Village, press will not be allowed into the Residential Zone, with the exception of cases when a media representative is invited as a guest of an NOC. However, there will be an opportunity to tour the Residential Zone during one of two Village Media Tours. There will be a limit of 100 media representatives allowed on each tour. To request a seating at the tour, press should register via [email protected] after 31 March 2017.

The Press Operations team is responsible for the planning and delivery of all services and facilities for the media accredited to cover the Islamic Solidarity Games in Baku 2017. This includes written press, photographers and non-rights holding broadcasters. Approximately 650 journalists, photographers and non-rights holding broadcasters are expected to be accredited to cover the Islamic Solidarity Games. Details of the facilities and services available to press will be available in the Baku 2017 Islamic Solidarity Games Media Guide, which will be distributed to media upon their arrival in Baku.
