NICOSIA, 14 May 2009 - Around 2,000 accreditations will be issued by the Organizing Committee to meet the requirements for the Games of the Small States of Europe.
Preparations have been going on for months now, in order for Cyprus to ensure the organisation of the best GSSE ever. Everyone who will be actively involved must be accredited, an accreditation that will serve as a "passport" to all the areas.
Accreditations will be given to all the participating athletes, all the members of the delegations, whatever their role or position is (doctors, physios, officials), all Cypriot and foreign journalists who will work during the GSSE, members of the National Olympic Committees, government officials who will be invited to the events, guests of the Organizing Committee, referees, judges and volunteers.
According to the registrations, more than 950 athletes will participate in the GSSE. The total number of all delegates is expected to be more than 1500.
Everyone accredited will have full access to the transportation system designed by the Organizing Committee, serving for their easy and fast transport from their hotels to the action areas, as well as from and to Nicosia and Limassol, the two cities that will host the events of the GSSE.
On 26 May, CYPRUS 2009 will be ready to give all the accreditations to the heads of each delegation, together with some useful written information to make daily life easier for every athlete and delegate during their stay in Cyprus.
This includes maps, information on how to move from one place to another, bus routes and daily schedules from and to the hotels and action areas, as well as anything that might be useful to the participants of the GSSE.
