Argentina will host a World Rally Championship candidate event in March 2027, with a successful assessment potentially opening the way for a return to the WRC calendar from 2028, the FIA has announced.
The three-day rally in Córdoba is scheduled as a round of the FIA CODASUR Rally Championship. FIA delegates will assess its sporting operations, safety and medical arrangements, infrastructure and organisation, including the proposed stages and service park.
The FIA says a successful candidate event must be confirmed through the World Motor Sport Council before becoming eligible for inclusion by the WRC promoter. Argentina last hosted a WRC round in 2019.
Planning for a proposed future event includes examining a return to the El Cóndor stage and an arena in the Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes sporting precinct, where a service park is also proposed.
