2024 Mapperdonian Sports Championships

The 2024 Mapperdonian Sports Championships, officially branded as Cologne 2024, was the third edition of the Mapperdonian Sports Championships taking place from 26 July to 11 August 2024 in Cologne, Rhinea. It took place four years after the previous edition. It is the second Mapperdonian Sports Championships held in Rhinea, after the 2019 Mapperdonian Winter Sports Championships held in Munich, making Rhinea the first country to host two championships and both the winter and summer championships.
The 2024 Mapperdonian Sports Championships was announced on 22 June 2024 by Omega. It coincided with the 2024 Summer Olympics. The revival was inspired by the successful revival of MIFF in 2023. The championships featured 85 events in 12 sports. 1,427 athletes from 24 nations participated.
==Host city selection==
Instead of a traditional bidding process, Omega directly selected Cologne as the host city for the event.
