Championship history

Between 1977 and 1988 the FIM organised the European Under-21 Championship. After deciding to allow non-European competitors, the competition was renamed the Speedway Under-21 World Championship.

The European U21 Championship returned between 2013 and 2020, when the European Under-19 Individual Speedway Championship was expanded to include riders up to the age of 21 years of age.

The under-21 event was discontinued in 2021. [3]
