Bayer 04's service department reorganised
The 2023/24 double-winning season set new standards. Bayer 04 faced a number of challenges not only in sporting terms, but also operationally due to the increased number of enquiries. Unfortunately, the service provided was not always exemplary. In the meantime, however, the club has gone through a restructuring process. In recent months, not only have many organisational matters been initiated, but technical components have also been further developed - with a clear goal: to provide fast, competent and comprehensive help and information. Personal service has always been important to Bayer 04. And it has now been significantly optimised.

Walking Football is a form of the game comes from England where you are not allowed to run, to slide in or play the ball over waist height. What sounds odd at first sight is in reality a very interesting and entertaining form of football. Above all for the more mature female and male players this gentle form of the game has a high added value.

Your ambassador – Jürgen Gelsdorf
Hello Silver Lions,
I am happy to step up as your ambassador. After my previous roles at Bayer 04 as a player, coach and head of the Performance Centre, being a Silver Lion ambassador is completely different again. I see it as a sign of great appreciation that I was asked. I didn't hesitate to say yes.
With the offer of the Silver Lions, the Bayer 04 Club have come up with a great idea. I'm particularly looking forward to meeting long-standing fans. We will definitely meet each other at one of the Silver Lion events. Until then I wish you lots of fun and success with our Werkself.
Best regards
Jürgen ‘Gelle’ Gelsdorf
