Hi Joowon,
we now have confirmed that the person who will be coming from the German broadcaster ARD will be:
Name: Thorsten Iffland Affiliation: ARD Tokyo
He will be on site on Thursday the entire day. We have scheduled our media team to take care of him on Thursday and guide him around. But it would be great if you could have his badge ready.
Thank you for your support! Maike

Dear Maike,
Thank you for the heads-up. We will ensure that press passes are arranged for the ARD production team upon arrival and will keep their access needs in mind as we finalize on-site arrangements. We will follow up as soon as we have more details from your end.
Best regards, Joowon

Dear LOC,
as soon as we hear any details from the ARD production team, we will let you know.
Please ensure that the ARD receives press passes on site. We can make personell available from the Federation Media team in case they need assitance on site. ARD is a large public broadcaster in Germany and given that Germany is the host country next year, we should ensure that their production team gets access to cover the event in Korea and accomodate them as much as we can.

Dear Hitomi Nakaso,
thanks for reaching out. We are excited to hear ARD wants to cover the upcoming tournament in Incheon, especially given that Germany will be the host of the 2027 edition of RoboCup! We will make sure that you receive press passes on site. Can you please tell us some further details: - which day(s) are you planning to cover the event / be on site? - how big is the production crew that you are bringing so we can make sure we have the right number of press passes ready for you
We are also happy to make someone from our media team available to work with you on site, help you navigate the different leagues and competitions happening and find interview partners should this be of interest to you. Just let us know how we can support the production.
Kind regards Maike (for the RoboCup Federation Media Team)

Hello. My name is Hitomi Nakaso, and I am a producer at the ARD (German Public Broadcasting) East Asia Bureau in Tokyo.
I apologize for the sudden contact, but our German correspondent would like to cover the upcoming Robocop 2026 tournament. He may also bring a camera crew with him. We received a request from Germany yesterday, June 24, asking us to cover the event. Therefore, we would like to apply for press accreditation as soon as possible. Would it still be possible to do so at this late stage? Please let us know what information is required for the accredation.
As this is urgent, please reply as soon as possible. I would appreciate your cooperation. Thank you so much.
