VVV-Venlo attaches great value to maintaining good relationships with the media. Our aim is to make clear agreements, so that all parties involved can enjoy working together pleasantly.

Reception press:
Hosts: Michel van der Meij and Marcel Abrahams.
The space available in the PERSONATO-press room is limited, but Michel and Marcel will make every effort to warmly welcome you and help you further.

Admission policy
Journalists and photographers must be in the possession of a valid NSP or AISP card. Accreditation for the home fixtures of VVV-Venlo is only possible via a special accreditation form. This form can be found on the left in the bar.
Journalists can access the PERSONATO press room from 90 minutes before the start of the match. The press room is accessible via the main entrance, then go straight up the stairs. The press conference after the match is held here too.

Parking
The press card is not valid for use as a parking ticket. The number of parking spaces is very limited. We kindly request you to arrive on time, so you are able to park in the vicinity of the stadium.

Wireless internet
Wireless internet services are available in the PERSONATO press room and in the press gallery.
The number of ISDN lines is limited.

Radio & TV
Radio and television journalists must also apply for accreditation using the special accreditation form. Endemol Sport has the exclusive rights to film all Dutch Premier Division games. This means that no other camera teams are permitted on the pitch or in other areas of the stadium during the match.
Regional broadcasters have the opportunity to record interviews in the mixed zone in the grandstand after the match. However, rights holders always have precedence above regional broadcasters. TV-interviews are always held in front of the backdrop board of the Dutch Premier Division.

 Access to the pitch
Only photographers and employers of the TV rights holders wearing a special vest or with a card are permitted to access the pitch. Photographers can reach the pitch via the stairs to the players’ tunnel and then take up position on the short side of the pitch behind the boarding or on the long side of the pitch between the corner flag and the penalty area, near the players’ tunnel. Photographers must take up a position against the boarding, so they do not obstruct the TV camera teams. Photographers can also stand on the other side of the pitch near seating section Z7, up to the penalty box. Here, photographers must stand behind the boarding.

The changing rooms, changing room corridor, Business Lounges, Jeu Sprengers board room, the Stan Valckx SpelersHome and the offices of VVV-Venlo are not accessible to the media.
