Can you imagine the world today without social media? Would you like to see that? We definitely wouldn’t! We love social media! Because Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat and co. provides us with the opportunity to communicate and interact with our fans that was not available in the predigital age. We grow closer together and can exchange opinions whenever we want. And it is clear there is now a huge Bayer 04 community that shares a passion or at least a liking for the Werkself.
That is why we are providing loads of space for social media on our new website. And, indeed, in a wide range of areas. For example in the shape of social hubs. That means presenting groups of posts on the most popular channels such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Such social hubs can also be found on the players' pages. Our Werkself lads are avid users of digital communication. So the player page provides a social hub that includes the official channels of our pros. We also do the same on the Bayer 04 Women's page.
Our home page has a social hub with a selection of the most up-to-date and cool posts on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. In the fan zone, we also present Bayer 04 fan information (Facebook). And, on the matchday pages, contributions with the match hashtag are visible for the relevant games.
That means our fans can enjoy the colourful social media world of Bayer 04 at a glance without being actively involved on the particular platforms and without having to search too much.
In Germany, the temperatures are currently around zero, leaving even professional footballers freezing - but not the Bayer 04 Women. Roberto Pätzold's team have fled the cold to the south and are preparing for the second half of the season at a training camp in the Algarve, almost 2,000 kilometres away from home as the crow flies. The Leverkusen squad landed in Faro on Saturday morning and have already completed the first three training sessions over the weekend.

It was a disappointing Saturday night. The Werkself lost 4-1 to VfB Stuttgart to start the new year on Bundesliga matchday 16 in 2025/26, a result that left both players and fans disappointed. "We played without any passion," said Alejandro Grimaldo honestly afterwards. Teammate Jarell Quansah was even more self-critical, emphasising: "We were miles off it in the first half. You can't put in a performance like that, especially in front of our own fans and I can only apologise to them, to be honest." Read on for the reaction, facts and stats from the clash with VfB Stuttgart in the Werkself review.
