2018 FIFA World Cup™ Preliminary DrawInstruction

for Application Procedure for Radio Frequencies license

This instruction describes the procedure for application for permit (license) to use radio transmitting

equipment (hereafter RED) during 2018 FIFA World Cup™ Preliminary Draw (hereafter P-Draw). The

instruction applies to all kinds of radio transmitting devices requiring licensed frequencies (two-way

communication, wireless TV cameras, wireless microphones, etc.). REDs that do not require a license are

listed in the Appendix.

Any organization participating in the P-Draw nominates a representative responsible for application for

license to use radio frequencies during the P-Draw and informs 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™ Local

Organizing Committee (hereafter LOC) directly or via FIFA.

Application Procedure for Radio Frequencies license:

Step 1. The user of RED downloads Russia 2018 Spectrum Application file at the below link:

http://resources.fifa.com/mm/document/tournament/loc/02/60/33/31/russia2018spectrumapplication_neutral.xlsx

By filling in all the fields the user completes the Radio Frequency Application form and sends it to

spectrum@loc2018.com. Guidelines how to fill the form are provided in the separate tab of the Application.

Step 2. Upon confirmation of the Applicant’s status as a P-Draw participant and check of the data

provided in the Application form the radio frequency assignment request is created by LOC and forwarded to

the Regulator for issuance of the License.

Step 3. The user of RED receives a message regarding the radio frequency application status from LOC

to the e-mail address provided.

Step 4. Upon receipt of the license the user of RED should carefully study the terms of use of the radio

frequencies specified in the License and reprogram his RED to the assigned frequency bands prior to his

arrival at the P-Draw.

Step 5. Before starting to use the RED the user is expected to undergo RED testing and marking

procedure so as to confirm its compliance with the parameters specified in the License. Such procedure will

be held in a specially equipped room – Spectrum Office (SOF). Please refer to the Appendix 2 for more

details on SOF location and working hours. This information is subject to change. Due to this please double

check the final information on SOF operation when obtaining the accreditation card.

Please note! Radio frequency resources are limited. Thus, the user of RED who submits the radio

frequency application in time has more chances to be granted a license for requested frequency bands and

radio frequency channels. The processing time of radio frequency assignment by Regulator is not less than 20

working days.

Deadline for submission of radio frequency applications is 25.06.2015. Applications submitted after

this deadline will be processed but the RF frequency assignment and license issue is not guaranteed.

Radio Frequency license is provided free of charge.

Registration of RED is not required if radio frequency license is already issued!

Operation of RED on the territory of the P-Draw sites without radio frequency license is prohibited!
