Dirk Dernbach, CEO of Securitas Sport & Event GmbH, added: "We are grateful to Bayer 04 Leverkusen for continuing to show their confidence in us and we very much look forward to starting a season together where hopefully football fans will again be able to watch games in stadiums.

The employees of the firm, whose parent company Securitas AB is based in Sweden, also look after other events organised by Bayer 04.
