This name is to be used both within and outside the club through signage etc to ensure a professional image. But not just this uniform approach is important to Thomas Eichin (Head of Youth and Women at Bayer 04): “In addition, Kurtekotten is not only the training and playing venue for our base and development sections but also for our Women’s Bundesliga team. The concept Leistungszentrum is apt and fits the bill really well.”
