EKO Rally Acropolis was awarded the Sport Organization of the Year award

The Acropolis Rally returned to the WRC Championship in 2021, leaving the best possible image in almost every area! Recognition of the effort was sealed with a host of awards at the now established Sports Marketing Awards, hosted by business communications company Boussias.

Nominated in eleven categories, the EKO Rally Acropolis “left” the hotel “Radisson Blu Park”, where the award ceremony took place, with ten awards! Top among them platinum in the category Best Sports Events as the best sporting event of the year.

The award was accepted by Deputy Sports Minister Lefteris Avgenakis, who stated: “Exactly one year ago we announced the return of the Acropolis Rally to the World Championship. Up until then we had said very little and achieved a lot. We were challenged. However, the EKO Rally Acropolis is here to stay and the current recognition of our efforts and efforts through these awards is the strongest endorsement of the bright future of our national race. It is with great honor that I accept this award and dedicate it to all those who worked calmly, methodically and tirelessly as soldiers before, during and after the event.“.
