As part of Bundesliga matchday 14, the DFL and the German Football Association (DFB) are saying "Thanks to the volunteers". Bayer 04 are also involved around the game against FC Augsburg on Saturday (kick-off 15.30 CET) with events including the presentation of the two winners of the twelfth Bayer 04 Volunteers Award. Under the motto "Matter of the heart", the work of over 1.7 million volunteers was honoured for their commitment to football for the 21st time at games in the Bundesliga, Bundesliga 2, Third Division and the Women's Bundesliga.
Despite the international break, numerous Werkself fans turned up at the BayArena on Saturday 3 October. The occasion: Bayer 04, together with Bayer Vital and main sponsor BarmeniaGothaer, organised a Health Day. In the stadium’s Premium Lounge, guests listened to fascinating talks on the subject of cancer, featuring, amongst others, Bayer 04 record appearance holder Rüdiger Vollborn and former Werkself player Hans Sarpei. Afterwards, young and old alike enjoyed interactive stations such as a grip strength test and eye pupil test.
