The German Ski Association is bidding for the 2031 World Ski Jumping, Cross-Country Skiing and Nordic Combined Championships with Oberstdorf. Alternatively, a bid with Oberwiesenthal and Klingenthal in Saxony would also have been possible. According to the DSV, the decision in favour of the location in Bavaria was made in a joint vote by the organizers.
"After jointly weighing up the German bid opportunities and carefully examining the infrastructural requirements for hosting the World Championships, we have agreed to a German bid with Oberstdorf as the location," Heiko Krause, President of the Saxony Ski Association, was quoted as saying in a DSV statement. "However, it remains our goal to bring the Nordic World Ski Championships to Saxony in the foreseeable future."
