Immediately before kick-off at the BayArena the Werkself and the Bochum team will join together for a photo with the campaign banner. In addition, a video will be shown with Bayer 04 players Lukas Hradecky, Robert Andrich and Kerem Demirbay plus the Bayer 04 medical director Dr. Karl-Heinrich Dittmar giving their support to cancer screening campaign. The subject will also be broadcast on the LED screens throughout the stadium and included in the Werkself Live matchday magazine.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer amongst men with over 60,000 cases per year. Prostate cancer can very often be treated if identified early enough. Only a quarter of men over over 45 take up the offer of screening. The campaign, also supported by the Stiftung Urologische Gesundheit (Urological Health Foundation), is aimed at reaching as many people as possible and removing taboos from the subject of early diagnosis of prostate cancer. “At Bayer 04, we have made urological screening an integral part of medicals,” said Dr. Dittmar.

The Werkself face Manchester City for the very first time on Tuesday for Matchday 5 of the league phase in the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League (kick-off: 21:00 CET). The hosts sit fourth in the standings and boast huge quality in attack, while Leverkusen are looking to improve their meagre record of just one win from the last 10 games away at English clubs. A key player in that regard could be Aleix Garcia, the former City midfielder who ranks highly in several passing metrics in the Champions League this season. Here’s all you need to know ahead of the game in our matchday news.
