Media accreditation

Bear in mind: 

• Accreditation requests for national/Portugal-based media must be made online until April 18^th. To apply for accreditation use the following link: Vodafone Rally de Portugal 2024 - Eventhos.
• Incomplete requests — without filling in all the required fields and/or without the required documentation — will not be considered valid, as they will not receive any answer.
• The Accreditation Service will contact, in writing, the respective media whose requests have been accepted up to two weeks before the event.
• Such documentation will be indispensable for the withdrawal of the accreditation.
• If the accredited person is unable to attend the event, he/she must communicate this fact to the Accreditation Service ([email protected]) at least seven days before the opening of the accreditation.
• The accreditations will be attributed on a personal basis, as it is non-transferable, since they can only be lifted by their respective holders.
• No documents of any kind will be accepted for the withdrawal of third party accreditations.
• To collect the accreditations, journalists MUST bring with them all the requested documents duly signed.
• Those who do not present themselves with the signed documentation will have to leave the Accreditation Centre, re-sign the documentation and wait their turn in line.
• Websites and Radios wishing to make video coverage of the Rally will have to make their accreditation request to the WRC Promoter: [email protected].
• The same applies for all websites wishing to broadcast video footage from the event - whether live, delayed or summary.
