Germany has selected Munich as its candidate city for a future edition of the Summer Olympic Games, according to Al Jazeera.
The decision marks the latest step in Germany's long-running effort to bring the Summer Games back to German soil for the first time since 1972, when Munich itself hosted the Olympics.
A history of unsuccessful bids
Since the 1972 Munich Games, Germany has launched seven unsuccessful bids to host the Summer Olympics, reflecting the challenges the country has faced in securing hosting rights despite repeated attempts.
Munich's 1972 Games are remembered both for their sporting achievements and for the hostage crisis that occurred during the event, a legacy that has occasionally featured in discussions about the city's suitability for hosting again.
Further details on the timeline for a formal bid submission, or which future Games edition Germany intends to target, were not specified in the available report. The International Olympic Committee's selection process for future host cities will determine whether Munich's candidacy advances.
