The EKO Rally Acropolis is one of the oldest and most important car races in the world. An international match with a name, identity and character completely identified with Greece.
"After an 8-year absence, the institution returned last year with vigor and came back this year brighter than ever, as television stations, radio stations, newspapers and journalistic websites are constantly referring to the preparations for the great celebration of motor sports," reads a related announcement.
"For the second year in a row, EOT actively and dynamically supports the Acropolis Rally. We are proud to be a member of the strong team of the Deputy Ministry of Sports, which organizes one of the most important motor sports competitions in the world", emphasized the general secretary of the EOT Dimitris Fragakis and added: "The recognition and impact of the "Rally of the Gods" contributes the best in the promotion of our country. The Acropolis Rally is the best investment for the promotion of Greek tourism internationally. The EKO Rally Acropolis will be shown worldwide on more than 60 networks, in 150 countries around the world and is expected to be watched by over 100 million viewers who will have the opportunity to see enchanting images from Greece. The routes that have been designed support separate areas that need the promotion of the tourist experience they can offer. That's why at EOT we stand as proud supporters of an event that, once again this year, innovates and captivates. The Acropolis Rally is here again this year, more powerful and intrusive than ever. Good luck!"
With the aim of promoting Greece as much as possible during the four days of the Games, the EOT has granted the organizer targeted TV spots that will be shown in the introduction of the TV broadcasts of the OAKA Super Special Route and the Special Routes of the Race, as well as in broadcasts of international television stations, which will show the Acropolis Rally. Thus, images of impressive landscapes of our country will travel around the world, both on television and through the internet and social media.
The EKO AcropolisRally 2022 started this year with a Super Special Route at the Athens Olympic Sports Center (OAKA). On Thursday, September 8th, at 19:30, Greece "broadcast" the image of the Super Special Route to 150 countries in the world. Millions of television viewers around the world enjoyed the passage (in pairs) of 70 racing cars through the special track, with a total length of 1.95 km, which has been set up inside the playing area of the Olympic Stadium in Athens. Tens of thousands of spectators have the opportunity to see it up close, from the stands of a stadium with a capacity of 69,000 spectators.
The 2022 Acropolis Rally is a motor racing event for rally cars. It would mark the 66th running of the Acropolis Rally.
It is noted that additional routes have been included in this year's competition program, compared to those of 2021, which fall under the Regions of Attica, Central Greece and Peloponnese.
