THE PROCEDURE FOR THE ACCREDITATION OF COMMUNICATION MEDIA TO ACCESS MATCHES PLAYED AT THE BOCA JUNIORS ATHLETIC CLUB
LOCAL MEDIA
1. For accreditation purposes in order to access the games played at the Alberto J. Armando stadium, the media of the city of Buenos Aires and the Greater Buenos Aires area will have to fill out a form that can be picked up at the Press Department Monday to Friday from 1.30 to 8 pm. Furthermore, the information specified below should be attached, according to the type of medium.

RADIO OR TV PROGRAMS
Only the legal media will be accredited, all exceptions barred. As an attest, the presentation of a photostat of the form which certifies that the broadcasting station has been granted a license by the COMFER, or in certain cases the Temporary Interim Permit (PPP), will be necessary. Additionally, a form signed by the director of the broadcasting station will have to be presented, stating that the program is in effect broadcast by that station. A cassette or video - according to the case in point - with the recording of the last broadcast of the program will also have to be presented.

NEWSPAPERS, PERIODICALS AND MAGAZINES
The three last issues published will have to be brought along.

MEDIA FROM THE REST OF THE COUNTRY AND FROM ABROAD (FOREIGN MEDIA)
Those media which on account of geographical distance cannot pick up the aforementioned blank form should proceed directly as mentioned in section 2. The graphic media should present a copy of the last three issues published and at least three articles signed by the newsmen to be accredited. Foreign radio stations that wish to have a telephone line at their disposal should apply for it at the telephone company in their country.

INTERNET AND OTHER ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION MEDIA
Due to the restricted availability at the Press Department, no accreditation of any electronic medium will be accepted.

FREE-LANCE JOURNALISTS
free-lance journalists will not be accredited.

In order to be accredited, each journalist will need a credential issued by his medium which will accredit him as its representative.

2.Once the aforementioned requirements have been complied with and after the presentation of all the documents specified, to request accreditations a fax will have to be sent for each match with a sufficient lead time (according to the time length specified by the Press Department - see "Days and Scheduled Times" below) - , all exceptions barred. This note (fax) will display the letterhead of the medium, the number of credentials asked for, the given name and surname of each of the persons to be accredited, and will have to be signed by the person in charge. His/her telephone number will be added so that Club officials may communicate with him/her should this be deemed necessary. It is recommended that the medium get in touch with the Club in order to confirm the arrival of the mentioned fax. The Press Department will not accept any claim should the fax not have arrived before the time limit stipulated for the acceptance of requests.

NOTE:the mere emission of a fax does NOT secure the direct accreditation.

The Press Department does not accredit press photographers. According to the regulations of the Argentine Soccer Association (AFA) the only press photographers authorized to enter the stadium are the members of the Association of Press Photographers of the Argentine Republic (ARGRA), all exceptions barred. To obtain the accreditation for a match , foreign press photographers should contact ARGRA (Venezuela 1433, Buenos Aires - Phone 54-11-4381/6853 or by e-mail to acreditaciones@argra.org..ar ). Such accreditations are limited in number. Aerial or cable television programs must be authorized by the company in posession of the TV rights ((Torneos y Competencias - (+54-11) 5235 4800 / 4900) in order to access our stadium, attaching a pertinent note for that purpose.

Important information to take into account:

-Accreditations cannot be transferred

-Media credentials are only issued for official purposes and to people who are carrying out a pertinent professional activity. Therefore access to the medias' installations cannot be granted to spouses, friends, or children of said professionals or to other people.

-The accreditations granted by the Boca Juniors Athletic Club are considered official documents of this institution. Hence the misuse (transfer or other) of these entail the temporary or definitive cancellation of the activities for which they were granted to the medium in question.

-Both the playing field and the mixed premises are considered work areas. Therefore it is strictly forbidden to ask for player authographs, jerseys, or the taking of snapshots with the players.

THE COVERING OF TRAINING SESSIONS
In order to cover training sessions journalists will exhibit their respective credentials of their medium to the club personnel in charge of security. The journalists should keep in mind that the training modes referred to as "open door" or "closed door" are determined by the team coach of the training activity.
