Munich will lead Germany's upcoming bid to host the Summer Olympic Games in a future cycle.

What's new · 3d agoAdditional reporting clarified that Munich competed against regional bids including Cologne and the Rhine-Ruhr area, while noting historical context about prior unsuccessful bids.

Germany has selected Munich as its candidate city to bid for the Summer Olympic Games in 2036, 2040, or 2044. The city emerged victorious over other regional contenders after Berlin withdrew its own candidacy from the national selection process. This marks another step in Germany's ongoing efforts to secure the global sporting event for the first time since the nineteen seventy-two Games.

Germany has launched seven unsuccessful bids to host the Summer Games since holding the event in nineteen seventy-two.
Berlin previously withdrew its candidacy from the running ahead of the final selection.
The potential two thousand thirty-six hosting would coincide with the centenary of the Nazi-hosted nineteen thirty-six Berlin Olympics.
