Bayer 04 have again organised a full supporting programme for young and old. From noon, Werkself fans have the opportunity to explore the BayArena and make full use of the entertainment activities on the concourse. Food and drink will also be provided – snacks, hot and cold drinks are available at family-friendly prices. The match against Valencia kicks off at 14.00 CET. Peter Bosz and his players will be centre stage on the day – the squad will obviously be presented too. The following autograph session will give fans the chance to meet the Werkself and get their autographs or take selfies. The launch event ends with a music act.

“Diaby! Diaby! Diaby!” was the cry around the BayArena as the Werkself danced in front of the north stand following their 4-0 win over Union Berlin. Captain Edmond Tapsoba gave his new (and old) teammate a friendly shove forward to take in the acclaim from the fans. The returning Frenchman was typically reserved in thanking the supporters but was clearly emotional about what was happening.
