Germany is making a bold move to host the Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2040, marking 50 years since reunification. The Federal Cabinet has given the green light, and the proposal is gaining momentum with support from the German Olympic Sports Confederation (DOSB) and several key cities, including Berlin, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Leipzig, and Munich.

A Celebration of Democracy and Unity
Nancy Faeser, the Federal Minister of the Interior and Sports, emphasized the significance of this bid, noting that it’s a unique opportunity for Germany to showcase the values of its liberal democracy. "It's a chance to demonstrate the values our liberal democracy stands for. That's why we want to combine the Olympics in Germany with celebrating 50 years of German unity," said Faeser. The signing of the joint memorandum in Paris, during the 2024 Olympics, marked a pivotal step forward.
Sustainability and Community at the Heart of the Bid
Germany's approach to this bid is deeply rooted in sustainability and community involvement. The plan is to utilize existing sports facilities rather than building new stadiums, which aligns with the country's commitment to responsible environmental stewardship. Moreover, the involvement of local populations in the bid process is a key priority, ensuring that the Games reflect the interests and needs of those who live in the hosting cities.
A Legacy Beyond Sports: Germany’s Vision for 2040
This initiative isn't just about sports—it's a symbol of Germany's unity and a message of democracy to the world. With the government's strong backing, this bid is poised to be a significant milestone in Germany's modern history, potentially leaving a lasting legacy well beyond the Olympic Games themselves.
