Munich selected for Germany's Olympics
The German Olympic Committee has selected the city of Munich to submit a bid to host the 2036, 2040, or 2044 Summer Olympic Games, surpassing the bid from Cologne and the Rhine-Ruhr region. This move marks Germany's eighth attempt to host the Olympics since 1972, a year that saw an attack on the Israeli delegation and tragic events, with Germany having previously hosted the Olympics in 1936 and 1972. A public consultation in 2025 showed broad support for the project, with 66.4% backing it and a participation rate of 42%. The dialogue with the International Olympic Committee will continue until March 2027, with a final decision expected by mid-2029. Munich’s bid emphasizes the Olympic Park and ongoing upgrades, as the city aims to host the Games in line with widespread official and public support.
