Rules of work of foreign Media representatives

Media accreditation for the Games is considered equivalent to the Media accreditation issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation (MFA of Russia), and allows to carry out professional activities on topics related to the Games, on the days of the Games at the venues of the Games and sites of cultural and historical significance in Kazan.

Useful information on the procedure for obtaining accreditation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia is available at the link.
