The mayoress of Vega de San Mateo, Davinia Falcón, and the Councilor for Sports, Miguel Reyes, met this Friday with Pepo Batista, general director of the Rally Islas Canarias. The main objective was to advance in the planning and coordination of the 2027 edition of this important sporting event, which is part of the World Rally Championship (WRC).
During the meeting, various organizational and coordination issues for the development of the next edition were discussed. Special emphasis was placed on the prominent role that the municipality of Vega de San Mateo will play in this international sporting event, scheduled from May 6 to 9, 2027.
The meeting also served to highlight the significant sporting, tourist, economic, and media impact of this competition. The rally turns Gran Canaria into a global showcase and offers an opportunity to promote the landscapes, natural environment, and attractions of the municipality.
The City Council underscored the importance of maintaining close collaboration with the organization of the Rally Islas Canarias. The goal is to foster coordination between both parties and work together so that San Mateo continues to be part of one of the most relevant events on the international motorsport calendar.
Both parties agreed to keep collaboration channels open and continue with the preparations for the 2027 edition. In the coming weeks, the agreement will be formalized with Germán Morales, president of the Organizing Committee and promoter.
