Ilirija Sports Park (Slovene: Športni park Ilirija) is a multi-purpose stadium in Ljubljana, Slovenia. It is the home ground of the Slovenian Second League team ND Ilirija 1911.
The stadium was built in 1963 with a 398 metres (1,306 ft) long speedway track.[2] The motorcycle speedway team Avto Moto Touring Klub Ljubljana (AMTK) used the track as their home ground until 2020.[3]
The speedway track hosted major competitions, including rounds of the Speedway World Team Cup in 1987, 1990, 1992, 1994, 1996, 2001, 2008 and 2012, and rounds of the Speedway World Pairs Championship in 1979, 1983 and 1989.[4][5]
The speedway club AMTK Ljubljana underwent a long legal dispute with the City Municipality of Ljubljana over the ownership of the site. The Federation of Ilirija Sports Associations eventually became the owner of the venue, and in May 2020 the speedway club was expelled.[2]
