The decision to put forward Hamburg as a candidate city for the 2024 Summer Games was backed by all officials of Germany's Olympic committee, according to DOSB's statement.

Hamburg is now due to compete with the confirmed bidders Boston and Rome as well as many others, including Paris, Istanbul, Budapest, Baku and Doha that are likely to submit a bid for hosting 2024 Olympics.

Germany has not staged an Olympics since the Munich Summer Games in 1972.
