MSC Brokstedt is a German motorcycle speedway team based in Brokstedt, Steinburg, Germany.[1] [2]
The origins of the Brokstedt speedway team began with a club called Team 70 Neumünster who were founded in 1970 and were the first champions of West Germany in 1973. They played their home fixtures at the VfR-Stadion an der Geerdtsstraße (today called the Grümmi-Arena) in Neumünster.
In 1975, the Holsteinring was constructed and Team 70 Neumünster moved to the new stadium in Brokstedt becoming Team 70 Brokstedt. The team won further West German Championships in 1980 and 1981.[3] The legendary German rider Egon Müller rode for the club.
The MSC Brokstedt was founded in 1983 taking over the running of the speedway club. The team are four-times champions of Germany, having won the Speedway Bundesliga in 1997, 2014, 2019 and 2021.[3]
