The team under head coach Gerardo Seoane will go in search of goals on the road in black in the coming season. But the Werkself players will not have to manage without the home end: The stylish design of the new away kit is based on the sea of flags of the Bayer 04 fans in the North Stand.
The third shirt for the new season is white with red and black accents of colour. As with the home shirt, the away and third shirts have the word Werkself on the back of the shirt.

The two new shirts are available now from the Bayer 04 fan shops and from the online shop. For adults the kit is available in sizes S to 5XL and costs €84.90.
The addition of players names – including new signing Adam Hlozek – again costs €14.90 this year. One change: Fans of the Werkself can now have the names of players from the Women’s squad printed on the shirts. Printing of own names again costs €19.90 this year.
Bayer 04 turned in a dominant performance in a 7-0 win against fifth-tier side Sportfreunde Baumberg in their first friendly ahead of the 2026/27 season. A brace from debutant Afonso Moreira (19', 27') either side of a Christian Kofane strike (23') put the Werkself 3-0 up in the first of the two 35-minute halves in Monheim am Rhein. After the break, Victor Boniface (49', 53'), Robert Andrich (56') and Nathan Tella (67') scored for the completely changed Leverkusen team. It was therefore a successful friendly debut for new head coach Carles Martínez and his team, although the hosts also had something to celebrate despite the defeat: the match marked the inauguration of Baumberg's new ground, the MEGA Stadion.

A new team, a new environment, a new challenge—and yet one thing remains the same for Afonso Moreira: his attitude. Total dedication, discipline, and the drive to improve every day have defined the Portuguese player since his early days at Sporting CP. “Even back then, I realized I had to work hard to achieve my goals,” said the 21-year-old. His parents also instilled those values in him from a young age. Values that have driven him ever since, accompanied him to France when he signed for Lyon, and now also form the foundation for his new chapter at Bayer 04. At a media session, the lightning-fast winger spoke about his values, as well as his new teammates, the new coach, and his targets at the club.
