Speedway world champions heading to Ipswich stadium
Ipswich's Foxhall Stadium will host two days of the FIM Speedway 2027 World Championships.
The Ipswich Witches, a British speedway club founded in 1950, are set to host the FIM Speedway World Championships at their Foxhall Stadium, marking a significant milestone for the club. Chairman Richard Coleman expressed hope that the event would propel the club into a new era, following their league victory in 2025. The championship, scheduled for August 13-14 next year, will feature top riders such as six-time world champion Bartosz Zmarzlik and Great Britain's Robert Lambert, alongside Under-21 competitors on the preceding Friday.
Coleman emphasized the unique opportunity for Foxhall to showcase the sport, comparing it to the legendary European venues it joins. The club hopes the event will draw Speedway GP fans from the UK and beyond to witness a different test of skill on Foxhall's unique track. Ticket sales for the historic event are expected to be released soon, with Coleman encouraging fans to join in what promises to be an extraordinary weekend of racing.
