Eko Acropolis Rally: Five Years of Dominance and a Safety Spectacle Putting Greece Back on the Global Motorsport Map
Did you know that Eko, a member of Hellenic Energy, has been the main sponsor of the Eko Acropolis Rally for five years straight? Yes, five years! And this isn’t just any rally – it’s an international spectacle held this year from June 26 to 29 across four regions of Greece, featuring 17 special stages and 69 teams from 31 countries.
This event is not just a race; it marks the legendary rally’s return to the World Rally Championship (WRC), with Eko playing a key role in making it happen. Imagine the challenging gravel roads of Corinthia, Central Greece, and Thessaly, plus the spectacular Eko Athens super special stage at Zappion. It’s adrenaline-packed action not only for competitors but also for families and kids who got to experience the thrill of motorsport.
But Eko’s involvement goes beyond sponsorship. They use this event as a platform to promote road safety. This year, safety took center stage through the “Eko Acropolis Rally Road Safety” program, implemented in cooperation with the Greek Ministries of Sport, Infrastructure, and the Police.
The program includes several initiatives aimed at raising awareness about responsible driving behavior, part of the company’s broader corporate social responsibility strategy. So it’s not just about speed and adrenaline – Eko wants drivers to be smart and safe.
The Eko Acropolis Rally has become a symbol not only of motorsport but also of social responsibility and national pride for Greece. With so many participants and spectators from around the world, it’s clear this event significantly boosts Greece’s international visibility.
If you thought rallying was only for the brave drivers, think again – it’s also a chance for families and kids to get familiar with motorsport and road safety.
So next time you hear about the Eko Acropolis Rally, remember it’s much more than a race – it’s five years of passion, safety, and pride putting Greece back on the global motorsport map. And you?
