The competition involves ten national teams, with four competing in the first semi-final at Landshut in Germany on 1 May and four competing in the second semi-final at Riga in Latvia on 7 August. The winners of these semi-finals will join hosts Poland and Speedway of Nations champions Australia in the final at Warsaw in Poland on 29 August.[2]. Russia were once again excluded from an FIM event due to the ongoing war in Ukraine.
Great Britain won the first semi-final, beating Czechia, Germany and Ukraine to reach the final. Grand Prix stars Robert Lambert and Dan Bewley shone, scoring 27 points between them[3][4][5].
