Berlin: The city of Berlin will unveil its concept for the 2024 Olympics on Sept. 1 and will follow up with a city referendum as Germany has still to decide on an official candidacy between Hamburg and the capital.
"After that there will be a vote for all Berliners to decide. We want the widest possible support in this."
The DOSB has yet to set a deadline for a decision on which German city will be put forward for the summer Games in 10 years.
Bidding for the 2024 Games starts in 2015 with a decision to be made in 2017.
No city has officially announced a bid yet but several, including Los Angeles and Boston from the United States as well as Paris, Istanbul, Qatar`s Doha and Durban in South Africa, are among potential candidates.
The 2016 Olympics will be held in Brazil`s Rio de Janeiro and the 2020 summer Games in Tokyo. Berlin last hosted the Olympics in 1936 and its Games stadium is still in full operation.
