Players & Match Officials Area (PMOA)
The ICC developed Minimum Standards for Players and Match Officials Areas (PMOA) in the early 2000s in support of the ICC’s Anti-Corruption Code. To this day they continue to protect Participants from unwanted communication from third parties and prevent issues of unintentional disclosure of inside information.
At each relevant International Match, the PMOA includes the dressing rooms used by the teams and match officials, match view areas used by teams (including dug-outs), operational rooms used by any umpire or match referee, dining areas used by teams and match officials and any other area the ICC Anti-Corruption manager determines should be included.
Key Points to remember:
- You can only enter the PMOA if you have been granted, and are wearing, PMOA accreditation.
- Express permission is required to leave the PMOA during the match from the Anti-Corruption Manager (ACM); or, where the ACM is unavailable, the relevant team manager or Match Referee (in the case of a Match Official) who must notify the ACM at the earliest opportunity.
- Communication devices are prohibited within the PMOA, barring specific exceptions. Without exception, no player shall be in possession of, or use a communication device (such as a mobile phone or a device which is connected to the internet, while in the PMOA.
- Failure to comply with PMOA regulations may result in financial penalties
