Suhl and Munich are fighting for the 2030 shooting sports World Cup!

The Olympic Games throw their shadows ahead! The German Schützenbund (DSB) under the direction of Jörg Brokamp, ​​who has been the federal manager for over 20 years, has big plans for the coming years. In an interview, Brokamp emphasized that the DSB would like to host the World Cup in 2030. The focus is on the possible venues. Both cities have already organized international competitions and are highly regarded at the World Association ISSF. The decision on the World Cup location will be made by the DSB Presidium at the end of 2026, depending on the ISSF general assembly and the presidency of Luciano Rossi until 2030.

with Suhl, which has special strengths in the field of shotguns and pistols, as well as Munich, the largest federal base with a long rifle tradition, the prerequisites for a successful application are met. At the same time, the DSB is neutral to the question of whether Germany should apply for the Summer Olympics. This decision is located at the German Olympic Sports Association (DOSB), while Suhl is part of the Hamburg Olympic concept. This concept stipulates that Citizens of Hamburg will vote in the coming year whether the city will support Olympic acquisition.

the Olympic acquisition of Hamburg in focus

The Suhl shooting sports center on the Friedberg is listed as a possible location for the shooting sports disciplines within the "Hamburg+" concept. Particular attention is paid to the sustainability and the creation of short paths to the venues, 82 percent of which should be within a radius of only seven kilometers. The cities of Hamburg, Berlin, Munich and the Rhein-Ruhr region show interest in Olympic acquisitions for potential years from 2036 to 2044. Hamburg plans to move citizens to participate in a vote on the Olympic application, which further strengthens citizen participation and puts local support in the foreground. The idea of ​​using existing sports facilities and building temporary systems follows a concept similar to that that is pursued in Paris.

shooting sports and the DSB

The Olympic Games, which have been taking place every four years since 1896, are one of the most important sporting events worldwide. For many athletes, including the members of the DSB, participation in the Olympic Games is the highest sporting goal. The DSB, which also supports the Paralympics, Deaflympics and other international competitions, is committed to fulfilling this high claim in preparation for the upcoming international championships.

In times of increasing popularity of shooting sports and potential major events, it remains to be seen how the applications will develop. One thing is certain: the DSB not only has a good hand for organization and support, but also a future -oriented concept that could further advance both shooting sports and the venue.
