"There is an agreement for 2021, I can confirm first-hand," he said after the presentation of the 54th race on Thursday at the headquarters of ACP in Lisbon.

Carlos Barbosa said that currently there is no longer the system of rotation of races and that, although seven countries are intending to enter the World Cup, there is already an agreement for Portugal to organise in 2021.

The 54th Portugal Rally, the sixth stage of the World Rally Championship (WRC), takes place between 21 and 24 May.
