History

The Yugoslavian speedway team first competed in the Speedway World Team Cup during the 1962 Speedway World Team Cup, finishing second in the central European round. [1] Throughout the history of World Team Cup, the team were regular World Cup competitors from 1962 until their final World Cup in 1992. [2] However, they were one of the weaker nations and failed to reach the latter stages of the competition. [3] [4]

Following the breakup of Yugoslavia, the riders then competed for their new speedway nations, primarily Croatia and Slovenia.
