Olympic Games: EHC Red Bull München and SAP Garden submit bid
October 26 is the big day: Munich residents will decide on a possible bid to host the Olympic and Paralympic Games from 2036 onwards. The Olympic Park, which provided a worthy stage for this unrivaled sporting event back in 1972, would be the hub of these Games.
As one of the most modern sports arenas in Europe, our SAP Garden will also play a major role in the bid. We want to present our living room on the world's biggest sporting stage and become part of the long history of the Olympics.
Hager: “Let's celebrate a wonderful event together.”
"The city of Munich and sport – and the Olympics in particular – have already written some great stories in the past. We have a superb facility that is still in use. I believe people are ready to welcome top-class sport back to the state capital,“ says our captain Patrick Hager, who is strongly in favor of a bid: ”For us athletes, it is a lifelong dream to compete in world championships or the Olympics. So come on, vote ‘yes’ and let's celebrate a wonderful event together."
We say: Yes to the Olympics!

In addition to the sporting festivities and unique diversity of disciplines, the Olympic Games also have many attractions outside of the competition. Cities that have hosted the tournament in the past have demonstrably benefited from the Olympics in terms of infrastructure, housing, and the economy.
Reiter emphasizes opportunities presented by the Olympic Games
"Why am I in favor of bringing the Summer Olympics to Munich? Because I am convinced that the Summer Olympics are good for Munich,“ says Mayor Dieter Reiter, promoting the referendum on Sunday and citing numerous reasons: ”The people of Munich are sports enthusiasts; there are around 700 sports clubs in our city. We are cosmopolitan and hospitable. Even the application could provide a positive impetus in a time of global crises. True to the motto: We dare to embrace the future and want to develop our city with a view to the people who live here. Just as 1972 was a strong impetus for the decades that followed."
Reiter, who is a regular guest at EHC Red Bull Munich, also sees the existing infrastructure in the Olympic Park and possible modernizations as ideal conditions that would suit the Games well. “The Olympic Park, with its stadium and sensational tent roof structure, continues to inspire people to this day. With the Summer Olympics and Paralympics as a goal, many projects that are important for our city would gain momentum, such as the expansion of public transportation and the construction of urgently needed housing. We should seize this opportunity,” Reiter appeals ahead of the municipal election.
