The Bulgaria national speedway team were one of the teams that competed in international team motorcycle speedway.
The Bulgarian speedway team first competed at the Speedway World Team Cup during its second edition, finishing fourth in the Central European round at the 1961 Speedway World Team Cup. [1] From 1961, the team competed in almost every World Team Cup until 1992, when the team began to struggle to field a competitive team. [2] [3]
Since 2001, when the competition was rebranded the Speedway World Cup the team have not competed at the World Cup and have only appeared once in international fixtures during 2010. As of 2017, the sport was almost dormant, with only one track in Shumen, although there were ten others in a derelict state.
The greatest achievement of the team was reaching the final of the Speedway World Pairs Championship in 1969. [4]
