For a good cause: Tapsoba, Maza and Kofane sell exclusive T-shirts at the Bayer 04 Fanwelt

Save the Date: On Thursday, 30 April, individually designed T-shirts go on sale exclusively at the Bayer 04 Fanwelt as part of the "BarmeniaGothaer gives joy" campaign. In the afternoon, between 14:30 and 15:30 CEST, the Werkself players Edmond Tapsoba, Ibrahim Maza and Christian Kofane will also be at the Bayer 04 Fanwelt - supporting this campaign for a good cause: The Bayer Leverkusen main sponsor will donate the proceeds to the "Fondation Edmond Tapsoba" to put a smile on the faces of people in Tapsoba's home country of Burkina Faso.

T-Shirt „BarmeniaGothaer schenkt Freude“

It's doubly worth coming along: get one of the limited-edition shirts - complete with the signature of the three Werkself players if you wish - and support a great community initiative at the same time.

The T-shirt is available for €9.99 and is available in all standard sizes - while stocks last. It will be on sale exclusively on Thursday, 30 April, and at the home match against RB Leipzig on Saturday, 2 May, again at the Bayer 04 Fanwelt. Information on opening hours and directions can be found HERE.

Exclusive Documentary from 29 April: going home with Tapsoba

On Wednesday, 29 April, one day before the T-shirt goes on sale at the Bayer 04 Fanwelt, an exclusive documentary on Edmond Tapsoba will be released on Werkself TV and the club's YouTube channel.

At the end of March, a Bayer 04 delegation travelled with the Werkself player to his native Burkina Faso, where Tapsoba provided special insights into his football roots, the culture of the country and the inspiring work of his Fondation Edmond Tapsoba - which will again receive support from Leverkusen with the proceeds from the T-shirt sales.

New seating for the BayArena - donation and reuse of existing seats

A fresh look for the BayArena: The Bayer 04 stadium will have new seating in the form of folding seats for the 2026/27 campaign that will ensure significantly improved seating comfort and simplified movement within the rows of seats. As part of routine replacement after 17 years, fans of the Werkself were able to purchase the existing seats, used to witness the first German league title in the club's history. In addition, a large proportion of the seats will be donated to charitable projects, primarily in the local region. Bayer 04 fans can look forward to new, functional folding seats for the season opener at the beginning of August - still in the club colours of black and red, of course. A glimpse at the BayArena during the refurbishment.
