Rhine Ruhr's prospective Olympic campaign could be jointly orchestrated by D.LIVE and D.SPORTS.
Düsseldorf, a city renowned for its expertise in major sporting events, made a bold move in proposing a bid for the 2032 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games along with the Rhine-Ruhr region in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The bid, which envisioned a multi-city model involving 13 cities, was presented but did not advance to IOC board approval by mid-2025.
The bid was built on the region's abundance of sports facilities, many of which were previously used in major events such as the 2006 FIFA World Cup. However, challenges persisted, particularly in finding a suitable athletics stadium. Discussions for potential temporary expansions for the Rhein-Energie Stadion in Cologne were underway.
Since then, there has been no further advancement in the Düsseldorf/Rhine-Ruhr bid towards hosting the Games by 2025. Instead, Berlin is planning a bid for the 2036 Olympics, indicating a shift of focus within Germany towards other potential host cities.
Düsseldorf continues to demonstrate its commitment to sports, hosting events such as the 2026 IFAF Flag Football World Championships, showcasing its ongoing role in the sporting world but separate from the Olympic bid.
In December 2024, the German Olympic Sports Confederation (DOSB) published a bidding guide. The city of Düsseldorf, with D.SPORTS as a department of event professionals from D.LIVE, was tasked with coordinating the bidding process. The resolution will be subject to careful consideration of potential costs, financing models, and public involvement.
In conclusion, the Düsseldorf/Rhine-Ruhr bid for the 2032 Olympics was a significant proposal but currently stands as an unsuccessful or inactive bid with no further advancement towards hosting the Games by 2025.
