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. We are fully prepared for the return of fans given our expertise in the management of sports events as well as the implementation and maintenance of relevant hygiene regulations."
