Journalists and staff from written or audiovisual media companies have free access to sports venues, subject to constraints directly linked to the safety of the public and sportsmen and women, and to the capacity of the venue.
However, unless authorised by the organiser, electronic public communication services that do not hold the exploitation rights may only capture images that are separate from those of the sporting event or competition itself.
Sports federations that have been delegated to organise the competitions referred to in article L. 131-15 may, in compliance with the right to information, propose regulations approved by the administrative authority after receiving the opinion of the Autorité de régulation de la communication audiovisuelle et numérique. These regulations define the constraints specific to the discipline in question and the type of event or competition, as well as the venues made available to the persons mentioned in the first paragraph.
