Media accreditation for the home matches of the men's national basketball team of Kazakhstan against the teams of Iran and Bahrain

Dear media representatives!

Accreditation of media representatives has been opened on the specialized Media Portal of the International Basketball Federation FIBA to cover the qualifying matches for the Basketball World Cup among men's teams in 2023. Accreditation for the first game window will be available until November 23, 2021.

On July 1 and 4, the men's national basketball team of Kazakhstan will play the final two home matches within the 1st round of the Qualification against the teams of Iran and Bahrain, which will be held in Nur-Sultan at the arena of the Saryarka Republican cycle track, starting at 20:00 capital time . Tickets are on sale only online at Zakazbiletov.kz.

Instructions for applying for accreditation:

As in previous qualifying rounds for the men's national teams, each individual journalist must use a personal profile on the FIBA media portal to apply (or register a new one if you are accrediting to FIBA events for the first time). The media portal is currently available in four languages: English, Spanish, French and Chinese.
After filling in all the required profile fields (first name, last name, media name and type, phone number, personal photo, etc.), go to the My Events tab, select FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 Asian Qualifiers (window 3) and click the Apply button.
Remote lighting accreditation is still available. It will help journalists who are not in the arena to quickly receive all materials about the match from the organizers, as well as send questions that can be asked to coaches and players before and after the game.
Please note that it is necessary to provide a link to one of your recent basketball posts.
After filling in all the fields of the application, it must be sent by clicking the Apply button again. Make sure that the confirmation of registration of the application has been sent to the e-mail address you specified (it is not a confirmation of accreditation).
Applications will close on June 28 at 23:59 CET (June 29 at 04:59 Nur-Sultan time). Accreditation on the day of the match is not possible!

All questions related to accreditation are accepted by the FIBA press service to the email address accreditation@fiba.basketball.
