Information on “Coming Home” event

While the Werkself are preparing for Saturday’s DFB Pokal final against Kaiserslautern in Berlin, planning for the "Coming Home" in Leverkusen continues at full speed. All information about the route of the team parade, the event at the BayArena and the event under the Stelze motorway can be found here.

PARADE THROUGH LEVERKUSEN:

The Werkself will land at Cologne/Bonn Airport at around 1.30pm on Sunday. They will then travel in the team bus to Morsbroich Castle to sign the city of Leverkusen's Golden Book. From there, the team will travel to the BayArena in a parade of open-top vehicles.

The route leads from Morsbroich Palace to Gustav-Heinemann-Straße and then along Bismarckstraße to the BayArena.

Event at the BayArena:

The approximately 40,000 free tickets for the stands and the interior of the stadium were quickly sold out. The BayArena opens at 12.30pm and the event starts at 1.30pm. We ask all ticket holders to come to the stadium early! This will avoid delays due to long queues at the entrance after the team arrives. Please note that your ticket for the BayArena expires when you leave the stadium after your first entry. For security reasons, it is not possible to re-enter the stadium.

Numerous well-known bands such as Culcha Candela and the Hermes House Band as well as regional artists such as Peter Lorenz and Dirk Maverick will be performing on stage inside the stadium during the course of the afternoon. All information about the musical programme can be found HERE.
