Tokyo 2020 Playbooks

The first edition of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games Playbooks, a resource which outlines the personal responsibilities key stakeholders must take to play their role in ensuring safe and successful Olympic and Paralympic Games, are now available.

There are dedicated Playbooks for each of the following stakeholder groups:

Press
Broadcasters
International Federations (and ITOs)
Athletes & Officials

These Playbooks are the basis of a collective game plan to ensure that all Olympic and Paralympic Games participants and the people of Tokyo and Japan are safe and healthy this summer.

They provide a framework of basic principles that each key stakeholder group will follow before they travel to Japan, when entering Japan, during their time at the Games and when leaving the Games. You will find a typical journey for each stakeholder group, beginning with measures starting 14 days before arriving in Japan, testing before departure and upon arrival in the country, and the use of smartphone applications to report health and support contact tracing during Games time. Measures will also be in place to identify, isolate and treat any potential positive cases.

It is important to note that the measures outlined in the first edition of the Playbooks will be expanded over the coming weeks, and we expect updated versions to be published in April and June, providing more details that will allow people to progress to the next stage of planning.

We urge all potential Games participants to familiarise themselves with the Playbooks, as it is vital that all attendees follow the rules in order to ensure safe and secure Games.
