In the last edition, the big final took place in Zurich, Switzerland, where elite athletes featured, showed their dominance, and added another accomplishment to their already existing bag.
On September 2, 2023, Shenzhen, China, will play host to the inaugural Wanda Diamond League match. It will be the only Wanda Diamond League match played in China that calendar year. For the first time in four years, the athletics series will visit China. The competition will take place at the cutting-edge Bao’an Stadium, which can accommodate 40,000 spectators. The stadium had previously played host to the football competition for the 2011 Summer Universiade. Athletes will compete for points in the 13 series meetings to attempt to advance for the two-day Wanda Diamond League Final in Eugene on September 16 and 17. Shenzhen will be the 12th event of the 2023 Wanda Diamond League season.
The best athletes in the world compete in the elite track and field league known as the Wanda Diamond League. The series consists of 14 one-day events held around the world. The top athletes in each event compete for points in the 13 series meetings throughout the course of the season, which runs from May to September, in an effort to advance to the two-day Wanda Diamond League Final.
The series was established in 2010 to replace the Golden League, and it is called after the Wanda Group, a Chinese company that in 2019 acquired the commercial rights to the show. The Wanda Diamond League is a major event for athletes, coaches, and fans alike since it gives athletes a platform to display their talents and allows spectators to see their favourite athletes put on world-class performances.
