Zurich to host IAAF Diamond League Final in 2020 and 2021

August 26, 2019

Diamond League Trophy 1 — The winner at the Final of each Diamond Discipline will become "IAAF Diamond League Champion" and be awarded a Diamond Trophy, USD 50'000 prize money and a wild card for the IAAF World Championships (certain conditions apply).

Weltklasse Zurich will host a new, single-day Diamond League Final in 2020 and 2021 as the series undergoes reform to become stronger and more relevant to athletes and fans.

Weltklasse Zurich will host the 2020 and 2021 Diamond League finals under the new one-final format that was jointly announced by the IAAF and Diamond League in March this year.

The Diamond League was established in 2010 with two finals, traditionally held in Zurich and Brussels, but for the next two years Zurich, long considered one of the pre-eminent one-day meetings in the world, will host the single final.

The selection of the final venue was also influenced by the scheduled renovation of the King Baudoin Stadium in Brussels over the next two years.
