Following the first home game in the New Year against Union Berlin (2-2) behind closed doors, Bayer 04 are able to allow spectators into the BayArena for the second home game in 2022: 750 supporters can attend the match against Augsburg who are currently sixteenth in the table. One third of the permitted capacity will go to the VIP areas in the West and South Stands at the BayArena. The other 500 tickets will be for the blocks F1 and F4 in the West Stand.
Tickets for the West Stand (public area) will go exclusively to holders of season cards who have opted for the 'draw bowl' option. Allocation will be done according to the principle of first-come, first-served. Season cardholders will be informed of the exact procedure via email in the next few days. Tickets for blocks F1 and F4 cost €15 full price (concessions: Youth €7.50, Children €5).
The 2G rule applies in the public area, which means only recovered or vaccinated spectators are allowed in the stadium. In the VIP area, a certified test is also required, i.e. 2G+ or full vaccination including a booster.
Medical-grade face masks (surgical masks or FFP2) must be worn throughout the stadium and may only be removed at the seat. Bayer 04 recommend wearing a medical mask throughout the whole time spent at the stadium and surrounding areas.
Free use of the ÖPNV Transport system is not covered by the ticket and there will also be no shuttle bus service. There will however be a large number of car park spaces free of charge under the motorway flyover.
A special afternoon at the Bayer 04 Football Academy autumn camp: At the Liga 20 indoor football centre, in the shadow of the BayArena, two Werkself women’s team players led a training session. Loreen Bender and Selina Ostermeier not only offered the young players advice and support, but also got stuck in themselves.

Once the final whistle was blown, it was time to take a deep breath. 2-0 down and a 5–2 win in the end. It was a nerve-wracking affair against FC Nürnberg in the second round of the 2026–27 DFB Pokal. Jonas Hofmann said – “We didn’t let our heads drop” – hitting the nail on the head. Indeed, it was clear the Werkself were not prepared to accept elimination from the DFB Pokal. So they went on to score. The Black and Reds made their presence felt with a goal just before half-time, followed by four more in the second half. Or, to put it another way: Edmond Tapsoba’s first Bayer 04 brace, a clinical penalty from Patrik Schick, yet another precision strike from Hofmann and a blistering volley from Lucas Vázquez. Each goal more beautiful than the last! After the match, head coach Carles Martínez praised his team’s commitment above all else and the fact that they never lost belief in themselves. The Werkself review.
