Example: Die Oldenburger sind sportlich aktiv und gut zufrieden mit den vorhandenen Sportanlagen – dennoch lässt sich das Potenzial der Stadt im Bereich Sport weiter ausbauen.
Nicole Snoek (X) Jul 2, 2007:
Cities and companies often use this term to display what they have to 'offer' in a certain field or what their possibilties are etc. It is not necessarily used for 'future' potential, or to say what they have accomplished.
Martin Wenzel Jul 2, 2007:
The town can be proud of its past accomplishments....??
Martin Wenzel Jul 2, 2007:
The word "potential" in my mind is normally used with something connected to the present tense or future rather than the past...
It's not just the facilities, I am sure the city also has good athletes...

Selected

its proven strength / capabilities

its proven strength / capabilities in this sector have established its reputation as a city of sports.

its tremendous assets
its great resources

would be other ways to describe that strength.
It's a sports powerhouse so to speak, a tremendous center for anything having to do with leisure and sports, a stronghold in this sector.
This strength has made it well-known as a "city of sports."
These are assets or maybe resources the city has and demonstrates, things, as Nicole pointed out, it has to offer a lot of.
