After returning from the training camp in Salzburger Land, the team under head coach Gerardo Seoane have two pre-season friendlies. The Werkself matches against FC Utrecht (28 July) and Celta Vigo (31 July), both of which will be played at the Ulrich Haberland Stadium, will benefit flood relief. Werkself fans can watch the two games for five euros each with 400 tickets available per game. Tickets for the match against FC Utrecht are available from the Bayer 04 Service Centre from 10.00 CEST on Monday, 26 July. Tickets for the game against Celta Vigo go on sale on Tuesday, 27 July, also at 10.00 CEST.

Proceeds will go directly to the community foundation of the City of Leverkusen, which Bayer 04 have supported for several years.

Hradecky: "Help where help is needed"

Lukas Hradecky, first-choice goalkeeper at the Werkself, also wants to give the victims of the flood disaster a helping hand. The Finn said in an interview with Bild: "We'll discuss what we can do within the team and the players committee. In addition to possible financial donations it is also about us going there and getting involved where help is needed."

Lindenhof youth club and Wildpark Reuschenberg

On Tuesday, over 50 people, including numerous Werkself supporters, came to the Lindenhof youth club. They helped with the disposal of furniture and clean-up operations.

And on Wednesday a large number of Bayer 04 fans and members of staff again helped people affected and organisations. This time it was the Wildpark Reuschenberg. That also involved clean-up work with brooms, shovels etc.

In addition, fans and the Bayer 04 fan liaison team have collected working washing machines and put them in a garage in Opladen that has water and electricity. People affected from Leverkusen and surroundings, who have no access to a washing machine, can easily get their clothing cleaned there. If you can donate a washing machine, please send an email to fanbetreuung@bayer04.de or hilfe@ultras-leverkusen.de.

In 2002, the people of Dresden received great support from Leverkusen in response to the Elbe floods. That involved the Werkself playing a benefit match against Dynamo Dresden. Back then, 28,000 spectators came to the Rudolf Harbig Stadium.
