Ticket sales have started for the LOTTO European Team Speedway Championship. The Grand Final of the event will take place on May 9 at the Stal Municipal Stadium in Rzeszów. Defending champions Poland, as the host nation, have been given an automatic place in the final.
Their opponents will be determined on April 18, and it is worth noting that there will be one important change to the regulations. The ETSC Challenge Day will be held then, meaning two events will take place on the same day at one venue instead of the previously separate Finals A and B.
This time, the eight teams will also be divided into two groups of four, but everyone will meet at one venue — the Plochodrážní Stadion Svítkov in Pardubice. A total of 44 races will be held there that day, alternating one from each group.
Group A will feature Ukraine, Slovenia, Denmark, and Norway. Group B will feature Sweden, Latvia, the Czech Republic, and France. Each team may use one rider competing in the Speedway Grand Prix series and must also include one reserve rider under 21 years of age.
The winners, along with the better of the two runners-up, will advance to the Grand Final, which will be held on May 9 in Rzeszów. There, they will be joined by Poland, which has won every senior European Team Championship final held so far: Poznań 2022, Stralsund 2023, Grudziądz 2024, and Gdańsk 2025.
The title partner of the event is Totalizator Sportowy. The company owns the LOTTO brand and operates a retail network of more than 29,000 points of sale, while also offering its products online. Totalizator Sportowy remains one of the pillars of funding for Polish sport and culture.
