Bayer 04 reaches milestone of 40,000 members
Bayer 04 Leverkusen is delighted to have reached a significant milestone in the club’s history with 40,000 official club members.
Fernando Carro, CEO: “The number of 40,000 is such great evidence for the growing support we feel here, and obviously for the growing attractiveness of our club as a whole. The close relationship between the club, its employees, teams and the fans is great for us. We want to continue to nurture and develop that.”
Carro welcomed the 40,000th member on the pitch ahead of the final Bundesliga game of 2023 against Bochum. Fittingly, the BayArena was sold out for the last home fixture of the year.
