The fabled Acropolis Rally of Greece returns to the World Championship (WRC) calendar this year after an eight-year hiatus, replacing the Copec Rally Chile which has been cancelled due to travel and other restrictions.

According to the General Secretariat of Sports on Friday, it will be held this year on September 9-12, while its presence on the WRC circuit has also been secured for 2022.

Regarded as one of the toughest fixtures, the Acropolis Rally joined the WRC’s inaugural season in 1973.

It was first held in 1951.
