Access Bank Mozambique is supporting the participation of Mozambican driver Paulo Oliveira in the world's biggest motorsport event, the Dakar Rally, which will take place from December 31, 2022 to January 15, 2023, in Saudi Arabia..

This is Mozambique's second consecutive participation in the race, led by Paulo Oliveira, who in the previous edition ensured the country's unprecedented debut in the event. In this edition, the race will have 15 stages, including a prologue, over a course of around 9,000 kilometers.

According to Marco Abalroado, Managing Director of Access Bank Mozambique, the bank has every interest in guaranteeing Mozambique's full and dignified participation in the event, which is why "it will spare no effort in providing logistical support to the Mozambican team".

"More than reinforcing our commitment to the development of sporting disciplines, we maintain our belief in Mozambican sportspeople and we are sure that this pair will represent the country in the best possible way," he added, quoted in the statement.

The driver returns to the sands of the Dakar Rally, this time on four wheels, unlike the motorcycles he took part in last year.

The Dakar Rally is the toughest rally race in the world and the biggest sporting objective for off-road enthusiasts.
