Overview

• The Government of Upper Bavaria rejected a complaint from the ÖDP and München-Liste, finding no breach of neutrality in the city’s information flyer or its inclusion with postal voting materials.
• Munich has spent about €7.78 million on the bid so far, with projections rising to roughly €8.1–€8.2 million in 2026 for further concept development if the process continues.
• The city is positioning for potential hosting in 2036, 2040, or 2044, emphasizing the use of existing venues from 1972 and other modern facilities.
• The DOSB process requires applications by May 31, with concept evaluations in September 2025, presentations in December in Frankfurt, and a national decision expected in autumn 2026 before any IOC consideration from 2027.
• Public campaigning has intensified, with Bayern figure Uli Hoeneß urging a yes vote and national player Klara Bühl voicing support for a Munich bid.
