All accredited members of the media are required:
to wear their accreditation badge at all times,
to remain within the designated zones as displayed on the accreditation badge,
to show respect and consideration towards the provided equipment and facilities,
to closely follow all instructions given by FIBA, the Local Organising Committee as well as arena security staff,

FIBA strongly supports and encourages players and other accredited persons to be active on Social Media by posting

Nonetheless, these publications must respect the following guidelines:
Publications must be dignified and in good taste and must not contain disrespectful or obscene words or images.
Players and other members of the team delegation are not allowed to publish content on Social Media during their game.
No filming or audio recording of any game (pre or post-game action) is allowed.
Photos can be taken for personal use and accredited media may publish them for editorial purposes on Social Media
(these photos can only be taken with smartphones/tablets, no professional equipment allowed).
Your Social Media activity linked to the event should not be linked to any commercial and/or advertising purposes.
Never forget that what is posted on Social Media can be considered as public and cannot be entirely retracted or
deleted. Make sure that all content associated with you is consistent with your values and the ones of your organisation

of the above rules, FIBA and the LOC reserve the right to apply disciplinary action and/or withdraw the accreditation of
any accredited persons with immediate effect.

BACK TO TABLE OF CONTENTS 16

 v

The coaches and players of both teams are required to exit the court via the Mixed Zone. While not officially obliged
to stop, players and coaches have been strongly encouraged to take the time to answer questions in the Mixed Zone.
However, players and coaches are under no obligation to stop and give interviews. Accordingly, members of the media
working in the Mixed Zones are requested not insist too forcibly. Media are also asked to show appreciation to those
players and coaches willing to take time to answer questions as they are doing so on a voluntary basis.
As this is a qualifying event to the FIBA Womens Basketball World Cup 2018 FIBA kindly asks that all media uphold the
expected level of professionalism. As part of this professional behaviour, media representatives are kindly asked not to
take photos with the players or coaching staff in the Mixed zone.
