Whether that is live streams of the Werkself, Bayer 04 Women's team plus the U19 and U17 sides, exclusive interviews as well as a range of entertainment formats on the first team and our Bayer 04 legends; Werkself TV provides complete coverage on one platform and thereby guarantees excitement for all Black and Red fans.
Only on Werkself TV can you see all the press conferences with Bayer 04 head coach Gerardo Seoane plus exclusive reaction from the Mixed Zone after the final whistle. That means you will no longer miss out on any key matchday announcements or information. At the weekend there will be match highlights including all goals from the Women's, U19 and U17 teams and a perfect sporting overview of the Black and Red weekend.
Werkself TV will also provide highlights during the week: In addition to looking back at legendary matches under the new heading 'Da war doch was' (There was something) or magical moments from our Bayer 04 Legends once a month with Rüdiger Vollborn selecting videos for his popular series of 'Rudi erzählt' (Rudi recounts) that takes you on a historical tour through the Bayer 04 world. And if you think you have seen everything: Look forward in the coming weeks and months to some new challenges with our former heroes.
Of course, there are already certain formats: You can get to know our Werkself players from a completely different angle in ‘Schwarz oder Rot?!’ (Black or Red?), ‘Den kenn‘ ich’ (I know him) or in the new #BayerSportsFamily duel. Only Werkself TV offers you all timeless videos at a glance and a click. That also applies to documentaries and reports about Bayer 04: Take time out and enjoy Werkself TV productions like "Wir schlugen Juve – Leverkusens unglaublicher Weg ins Champions-League-Finale 2001/02’ (We beat Juve – Leverkusen's incredible journey to the 2001/02 Champions League final) or 'Bender - die Unzertrennlichen' (Bender – the inseparables)
And the new video platform is not all: The Bayer 04 website will undergo a revamp this season. The digital offer will not only have a new modern design. The structure of the website will be thoroughly reworked and contain new content. The navigation on the site will be completely redesigned and many digital tools will be integrated.
