Munich, along with Berlin and the Rhine-Ruhr region, is vying to be selected as Germany's Olympics host for the 2036, 2040, or 2044 Summer Games. The decision will be made on Saturday at an extraordinary general meeting of the German Olympic Sports Confederation (DOSB).
Munich had previously considered Rostock as a potential location for the sailing events, but decided to cooperate with Kiel. The two cities also partnered when Munich held the Summer Olympics in 1972.
"Munich and Kiel are a perfect match. The joint effort of 1972 is being revived – North and South are joining forces," Bavarian Premier Markus Söder said.
