As part of Bundesliga matchday 14, the DFL and the German Football Association (DFB) are saying "Thanks to the volunteers". Bayer 04 are also involved around the game against FC Augsburg on Saturday (kick-off 15.30 CET) with events including the presentation of the two winners of the twelfth Bayer 04 Volunteers Award. Under the motto "Matter of the heart", the work of over 1.7 million volunteers was honoured for their commitment to football for the 21st time at games in the Bundesliga, Bundesliga 2, Third Division and the Women's Bundesliga.
Bayer 04 will be preparing young talents for a potential sporting career in an even more systematic way in future. The club is breaking new ground to help develop their academic, social and personal skills as well. With the ‘Haus der Talente' or 'Talent House’, Bayer 04 Leverkusen Fußball GmbH is creating a new centre for the development of young athletes in a central location in Leverkusen. Once completed – expected to be in the summer of 2027 – the project will be run in partnership with TSV Bayer 04 Leverkusen e.V.
