The Bundesliga club is thus following in the footsteps of the German national team, which was also based at the Spa & GolfResort Weimarer Land to prepare for the 2024 European Championship on home soil. For a total of seven training days, the spacious hotel and sports facility 30 kilometres from Erfurt will become the new home of Bayer 04. There, head coach Kasper Hjulmand's side will prepare intensively for the challenges of the 2026/27 season.
"The Spa & GolfResort Weimarer Land offers our first team and staff working conditions of the highest standard," emphasised Bayer 04 Managing Director Sport Simon Rolfes. "The in-house training facilities meet international requirements, and the regeneration options for our players are perfect thanks to the excellent infrastructure on site," he added. "We're looking forward to a week in Thuringia in the summer. In Blankenhain, we want to lay the foundations for a successful 2026/27 season."
Four Bayer 04 players are in action at the 35th edition of the Africa Cup of Nations being played in Morocco from 21 December to 18 January 2026: Eliesse Ben Seghir for the hosts, Edmond Tapsoba with Burkina Faso, Ibrahim Maza for Algeria and Christian Kofane with Cameroon.

Bayer 04 face Hamburger SV for the first time in almost eight years. Although the Hanseatic city team are often below par on the road, they are regularly in top form in front of their own fans. In particular, 18-year-old shooting star Luka Vuskovic is proving to be a real bonus for Merlin Polzin's team, both in attack and defence. However, that should not scare the Werkself: Not only was the last defeat against the newly promoted team 17 games ago, but Kasper Hjulmand's players are in with a chance of securing their fifth win in six games against HSV.
