Deutscher Olympischer Sportbund (DOSB, German Olympic Sports Confederation) was founded on 20 May 2006 by a merger of the Deutscher Sportbund (DSB), and the Nationales Olympisches Komitee für Deutschland (NOK) which dates back to 1895, the year it was founded and recognized as NOC by the IOC.
Seated in Frankfurt (like the German Football Association), it represents 89,000 clubs and 27,000,000 members, about a third of the population of Germany.
