Overview

  • Rhein-Ruhr has proposed using 95 percent existing venues, including a temporary pool at Gelsenkirchen’s Veltins-Arena, and aims to sell ten million tickets.
  • Munich’s city council backed a bid contingent on an October 26, 2025 referendum that emphasizes sustainability and upgrades to current infrastructure.
  • Berlin’s ‘Berlin+’ concept brings in Schleswig-Holstein, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Brandenburg and Saxony to host events such as beach volleyball at the Brandenburg Gate.
  • Hamburg plans to unveil its maritime-focused proposal on May 31, highlighting partnerships with northern states for sailing and seeking a public vote next year.
  • The DOSB will assess all submissions by September 2025, oversee regional referendums and confirm Germany’s single Olympic bid in the second half of 2026.
