Championship history

Between 1977 and 1988 the FIM) held the Speedway European Under 21 Championship. After deciding to allow non-European competitors, the competition was renamed the World Under 21 Championship. The European Junior Championship was then inaugurated in 1998, under the control of the European Motorcycle Union (UEM). It was held for riders under 21 years of age. The European Under-19 Championship was organised for the first time in 2017 and was staged concurrently with the Under-21 series until it was discontinued in 2021.[1]
