Accreditations are strictly personal and shall not be transferred. They specify the zones that an accreditated person has access to (media tribune, Press room, mixed zone for journalists, pitch for photographers) and certify that they have gone through all pertinent security controls, therefore guaranteeing the safe holding of the football encounter.
Acceptance of accreditation requests (for the entire season or specific matches) according to availability of seats lies within the discretion of PAOK FC (supported by football institutions, the organizing authority and acknowledged journalistic unions), who aim to secure that only professional or trainee journalists will occupy the media tribune of Toumba Stadium.
Identity controls can be held at all times in the premises, therefore accreditation holders are requested to produce an identity document (press card or ID card, passport etc.) when asked.
Media accreditations are issued for:
- Daily and weekly editions, magazines, websites and radio stations (PRE)

- TV stations without broadcasting rights (NRH)
- Certified press unions –PSAT, ESIEMTH, ESIEA etc (UNI)
Accreditated media representatives can watch PAOK’s home encounters from the media tribune and, if given the respective clearance, they have access to the Press Conference Room, the Mixed Zone and the Press Area
Non-rights holders are permitted in the media tribune and the rest of the press areas, but are subject to specific restrictions. In case of non compliance, their accreditation could be revoked/cancelled:
