The 2019
Memorial Van Damme was the 43rd edition of the annual
track and field meeting in
Brussels, Belgium. Held on 5–6 September at the
King Baudouin Stadium, it was the fourteenth leg of the
2019 IAAF Diamond League – the highest level international track and field circuit – and the second half of the final for 2019 (the
first half being held during the
Weltklasse Zürich in
Zürich, Switzerland on 29 August).[1] It was the tenth and last edition of the meet to co-host the
Diamond League final with the Weltklasse Zürich; The Weltklasse Zürich will exclusively host the final in 2020.[2]
Because of the late
World Athletics Championships, the Diamond League final was for the first time held before the World Athletics Championships in the same year. 16 Diamond League champions (8 men and 8 women) were determined and received wild cards to compete at the
2019 World Athletics Championships.[3] 18 more events were contested outside the Diamond League.
