parade from Schloss Morsbroich to BayArena
The Werkself will return from the DFB Pokal final in Berlin on the day and land at Cologne/Bonn Airport around 13:30. They'll then travel on the team bus to Schloss Morsbroich, where they'll enter themselves into the City of Leverkusen's golden book. From there, the team will head to the BayArena on an open-top parade (info on route to follow), where the grand finale, including the stage programme, will take place.
All further information, including information on the event under the stilt motorway, from where fans without a ticket for the already sold-out BayArena can follow both the Werkself parade and the programme at the stadium on large screens, can be found HERE.
