As Yugoslavia The
Yugoslavian speedway team (which featured riders from Slovenia) first competed in the
Speedway World Team Cup during the
1962 Speedway World Team Cup, finishing second in the central European round. Throughout the history of World Team Cup, the team were regular World Cup competitors from 1962 until their final World Cup in 1992. However, they were one of the weaker nations and failed to reach the latter stages of the competition. Following the
breakup of Yugoslavia, the riders then competed for their new speedway nations, primarily
Croatia and Slovenia.
As Slovenia The Slovenian speedway team first competed in the World Team Cup at the
1994 Speedway World Team Cup, winning Group C (the third tier of the World Cup). In 1997, they gained promotion to Group A and just missed out on their first World final. Since 2001, Slovenia have performed well in the
World Cup and the
Speedway of Nations (introduced in 2018) but have yet to qualify for their first final. Their best international result to date has been winning two medals at the
European Pairs Speedway Championship (a bronze in 2005 and a silver in 2006), the medallists were
Matej Žagar,
Izak Šantej and
Jernej Kolenko respectively. ==International caps (as of 2022)==
