The Debrecen speedway scene will make history once again on 1 May, as the European Cup Finals—created this year by the European Motorcycle Union (FIME) for the U24 generation—will make its debut in Hungary.

GEN Z STARS
Spectators will be able to see the very best of the young adult speedway generation at the Perényi Pál Speedway Stadium, including top riders from the Polish Ekstraliga, junior European and world champions—the stars of today and tomorrow.

HOME CROWD FAVOURITE
Zoltán Lovas, the 17-year-old Hungarian prospect of speedway racing, will take to the start line as a main rider and showcase his talent in front of the home crowd and representatives of the international motorsport community. Fellow Debrecen rider Richárd Füzesi will be on standby as a reserve.

UNRESTRAINED BATTLES & ADRENALINE
Sixteen fearless speedway titans from fifteen countries will arrive in Hungary, each aiming for the gold medal—and they will do everything in their power to claim it. The biggest winners of these intense battles will undoubtedly be the spectators.

PARTICIPATING COUNTRIES
Competing riders will be announced in parallel with the official entries received by the FIM Europe Track Racing discipline. The fifteen participating nations are: Hungary, Austria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, the Netherlands, Poland, Latvia, Great Britain, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Slovenia and Ukraine.
