Meridian media accreditation

Meridian Cup
The sixth edition of the UEFA-CAF Meridian Cup will be held in Barcelona, from 27 February to 1 March. With a completely new format, the event will involve a two-legged match between all-star Under-18 teams representing Europe and Africa. Both games will be played at FC Barcelona's Mini Estadi, with the first leg taking place on 27 February at 18.30CET and the second on 1 March at 11.00.

Meridian Conference
In parallel, the Meridian Conference gathers together national youth-team coaches from each of the 53 UEFA and 53 CAF member associations. This will be staged at the Princesa Sofía Gran Hotel in Barcelona from 26 February (opening at 17.00) to 1 March (closing at 10.00), with a focus on the development of élite youth players and on various current trends.

Pre-event press conference
A pre-event press conference will be held at the Camp Nou. As the timing depends on FC Barcelona's first-team training schedule, details will be announced nearer the time. CAF celebrates its 50th anniversary this year.

Media accreditation
Media representatives wishing to attend the UEFA-CAF Meridian Cup are requested to apply for accreditation via email: accreditations@uefa.ch with "Meridian Cup" in the subject header prior to midday on Thursday 22 February.
