After conducting usual due diligence, ACM sent the letter of acceptance on August 30th, making the German team the fifth official challenger for the 33rd America's Cup.

Michael Scheeren, Managing Director of UITG, added: "Despite the uncertainties around the event, we strongly believe in the path developed by ACM and the Defender Alinghi. We intend to join the battle on the water, the only place the battle should be".

Speaking on behalf of the Challenger of Record for the 33rd America's Cup, Desafío Español General Manager Agustín Zulueta comments: "We are very pleased with the German team's decision to challenge for the 33rd America's Cup and we wish them many sporting successes.
