Jari-Matti Latvala and Miikka Anttila were the reigning rally winners. [3] However, they did not defend their titles as Latvala retired from the competition. [4] Volkswagen Motorsport, the team they drove for in 2013, when Acropolis Rally held a World Rally Championship event last time, were the defending manufacturers' winners, but they did not defend their title neither when Volkswagen retired from the championship at the end of 2016. [5] Robert Kubica and Maciek Baran were the reigning rally winners in the World Rally Championship-2 category, but they did not defend their titles since Kubica was competing the 2021 Italian Grand Prix. [6]

Kalle Rovanperä and Jonne Halttunen were the overall rally winners. Their team, Toyota Gazoo Racing WRT, were the manufacturer's winners. [7] In the World Rally Championship-2 category, Andreas Mikkelsen won the class with his new co-driver Elliott Edmondson. [8] In the World Rally Championship-3 category, Yohan Rossel and Alexandre Coria finished first in the class. [9] However, they were disqualified from the results after the rally as the front subframe on their Citroën C3 Rally2 was found to be overweight during the post-event scrutineering. The polish crew of Kajetan Kajetanowicz and Maciej Szczepaniak subsequently became the WRC-3 winners. [10]
