Diamond League Brussels 2024 Schedule: What To Know

The 2024 Allianz Memorial Van Damme aka Diamond League Brussels 2024 aka the 2024 Wanda Diamond League Final is the final meet on the 15-competition Diamond League calendar.

This is where all of the hard work pays off, and 32 champions will be crowned to conclude another season of preparation, travel and head-to-head battles.

The year’s most successful athletes will be back in the same place once more – this time it’s King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels, Belgium – to prove who’s the best, at least for 2024. The season-ending competition will take place Sept. 13-14.

The athletes and fans are familiar with the scenario, as the Memorial Van Damme and King Baudouin Stadium have helped wrap up the league season in the past. It’s the only meet of the year that takes two full days, and it’ll feature all 16 disciplines.

Those competing have proven themselves since April, as spots in the final meet are completely performance-based. It’s a top-tier event for the most elite athletes.

How The 2024 Diamond League Season Unfolded

The first two stops of the 2024 Diamond League season were held in China – Xiamen (April 20) and Shanghai/Suzhou (April 27). The circuit then visited Qatar (May 10), Morocco (May 19), Eugene, Oregon (May 25), Oslo, Norway (May 30), Stockholm (June 2), Paris (July 7), Monaco (July 12), London (July 20), Lausanne (Aug. 22), Silesia (Aug. 25), Rome (Aug. 30) and Zurich (Sept. 5).

Typically, each regular-season meet includes about seven men’s disciplines and seven women’s disciplines chosen from the 16 that are featured in the final meet of the year. Athletes collect prize money and points toward spots in the final.

Once in Belgium, the prize money and prestige will be much higher, and the trophies will be more significant.

The invitation-only Diamond League brings together standout track & field athletes to showcase their skills and ultimately elevate the status of athletics across the globe.

When Is The Diamond League Brussels (Allianz Memorial Van Damme) 2024?

The Diamond League Brussels/Allianz Memorial Van Damme 2024, the 48th edition of the event, will take place at King Baudouin Stadium in Brussels on Sept. 13-14.

The meet will feature a plethora of past and reigning world and Olympic champions, including Swedish world record holder Armand Duplantis in the pole vault, Ukrainian high jumper Yaroslava Mahuchikh, Norwegian runner Jakob Ingebrigtsen (5000m), Kenyan tracksters Winfred Yavi (3000m steeplechase) and Mary Moraa (800m) and many more.

One highly anticipated entry will be Team USA’s Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, who picked up gold medals in the 400-meter hurdles and 4x400 relay at the recent 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. In Brussels, she’ll be featured in the women’s 200 and 400.

And don’t forget the likes of Team USA’s Sha’Carri Richardson (100 and 200), plus Olympic champions Marileidy Paulino (400) of the Dominican Republic, Australia’s Nina Kennedy (pole vault), St. Lucia’s Julien Alfred (100) and Valarie Allman of the United States (discus).

For the men, additional participants will be Botswana’s Letsile Tebogo (200), Kenya’s Emmanuel Wanyonyi (800) and more.

The lists for both sides are lengthy. It truly will be the best of the best.

The venue itself has been around for nearly a century. It is owned by the City of Brussels and was designed and constructed in the late 1920s. It was inaugurated in August 1930 as part of the celebration of the 100th anniversary of Belgian independence.

As the largest stadium in Belgium, it has room for almost 50,000 spectators. Along with the annual Memorial Van Damme, the facility hosts soccer matches, shows, concerts and more.

Of course, the stadium has seen many upgrades and changes over the years. The most recent changes coming in 2023 and 2024 – new seats throughout, an overhaul of the track surface, locker room renovations and top-of-the-line accommodations for media.
