- Special stage for the first time – ‘COSMOTE 5G ATHENS STAGE’ – at Syntagma Square
The EKO Acropolis Rally is back on the World Rally Championship (WRC) calendar after an eight year absence. The top drivers in the world, the biggest car manufacturers and thousands of speed worshippers will come together in Greece, with COSMOTE supporting the legendary rally as a Grand Sponsor. The much anticipated ‘Rally of the Gods’ will take place from 9 to 12 September and be broadcast live, exclusively on COSMOTE TV.
The ceremonial start will take place at the Acropolis, immediately followed by the ‘COSMOTE 5G ATHENS STAGE’. This special stage is being held for the first time ever in the Rally’s history, and it will take place in the center of Athens, around Syntagma Square. At the end of the special stage, the cars will park at Syntagma Square, where spectators will be able to admire them up close and enjoy unique experiences and surprises at the COSMOTE kiosk.
The next day, the cars will depart for the Peloponnese to compete in special stages in Corinth, after which they’ll head for Lamia, which is hosting the Rally and the service park. The Rally will have a total of 15 special stages of 292.16 km and finish in Lamia.
“
I’m very pleased that, after an 8 years absense, the Acropolis Rally is back in the World Rally Championship. Systematically supporting Greece’s most important motorsport event, COSMOTE is stepping up this year, too. The ‘COSMOTE 5G ATHENS STAGE’ combines – for the first time – an impressive special speed stage in the center of Athens with the fastest mobile technology, COSMOTE 5G. We invite motorsport fans to enjoy the legendary ‘Rally of the Gods’ either in person or on COSMOTE TV,” said Liana Moschou, OTE Group Marketing Communications Strategy Director, during an event presenting the EKO Acropolis Rally 2021.
