Berlin (dpa) – The Federal Government is in favour of Germany hosting the Olympic Games again. The Federal Government passed a decision to sign a joint declaration to this effect with the German Olympic Sports Confederation (DOSB) and with those federal states and cities interested in making a submission. In this way, the coalition is demonstrating its support for another German bid to host the Olympics. The Federal Government would prefer to submit a bid for the 2040 Summer Games, which would take place 50 years after German reunification. “The Olympic and Paralympic Games are a great opportunity for our country. They not only arouse enthusiasm for sport but also have the potential to boost social cohesion and provide an economic impetus for our country,” said Federal Minister of the Interior and Sport Nancy Faeser.
