Berlin and Hamburg are planning to submit a joint bid to host the Olympic Games in 2040. Both cities have the necessary infrastructure and experience to host such a major event. However, there is a need to sensitize society to the benefits of hosting the Games.
The preference is for the Summer Games in 2040, following the successful Special Olympics in 2023 and the demonstration of event competence during the Euro 2024. The Federal Interior Minister, Nancy Faeser, has signed a basic agreement with the German Olympic Sports Confederation (DOSB), and the federal government has given its approval.
Several federal states and cities have also expressed interest in being involved. However, a representative YouGov survey shows mixed support from the population for the bid.
Previous Olympic bids in Germany have been unsuccessful due to public referendums, so there is a focus on engaging the population in the decision-making process.
