Eintracht Frankfurt are in the last four of the UEFA Europa League thanks to a 3-2 win away to Barcelona in the second leg of the quarter-finals. As the Eagles are playing West Ham United in the semi-final first leg on Thursday 28 April, the Bundesliga match at Bayer 04 will not be played the following day. Instead the date originally set by the DFL remains: Monday 2 May at 20.30 CEST at the BayArena. The match is the penultimate home game for the Black and Reds in the current season.
Rudi Völler is handing over the post of Leverkusen sporting managing director at the end of the season to sporting director Simon Rolfes but he will be working as a member of the shareholders committee and as a Bayer 04 ambassador from the summer.

Send your messages, congratulations or photos via email to voeller.abschied@gmx.de. The Bayer 04 fan liaison section will also accept postal contributions. The closing date for submission is 7 May.

Bayer 04 congratulates Hannes Wolf and Teddy Lucic on Good Friday. Wolf was appointed caretaker manager at the Werkself in March of last year. The now 41-year-old coach temporarily gave up his post as Germany U18 coach and in Wolf's eight games in charge in the Bundesliga, Bayer 04 picked up an average of 1.5 points per game – and qualified for the Europa League. The coach then returned to the DFB as agreed and Bayer 04 Leverkusen brought in the current head coach Gerardo Seoane. Many happy returns and much success with the Germany U19s, Hannes.
Lucic, the second birthday boy with a Black and Red past, moved under the Bayer Cross as a player in the summer of 2003. The central defender came from AIK Solna from his home country Sweden and in the following 18 months Lucic made 11 Bundesliga appearances for the Werkself. The former Leverkusen player ended his playing career in Sweden in 2010. Many happy returns to you too on your 49th birthday.
Bayer 04 are away to Croatian champions Dinamo Zagreb on Matchday 5 of the league phase of the 2026/27 UEFA Europa League. The game kicks off on Thursday 26 November at 18:45 CET at the Maksimir Stadium. All the information on ticket sales.

It was a match that will live long in the memory of everyone involved: The Bayer 04 U19s celebrated their seventh win in seven matches in the DFB Youth League preliminary round – and yet it was a very special victory indeed: in the 4–3 (1–1) win at VfL Bochum 1848, no fewer than five goals came in the final quarter of an hour. As the 90th minute approached, coach Patrick Greveraars’s side found themselves behind, but then fought back in true ‘Laterkusen’ style.

Under Carles Martínez, the Werkself have so far proved unbeatable at the BayArena. The Spaniard has led his team to victory in all three of their most recent home matches – and, it's worth noting, without conceding a single goal. On Sunday, 18 October (kick-off: 15:30 CEST / live on DAZN and Werkself Radio), current league leaders SC Freiburg will make the trip to Leverkusen, but will be without their top scorer. What's more, the Werkself have won all three of their previous home matches against the Black Forest club. With a goal, Patrik Schick could not only secure a fourth consecutive victory but also set a memorable record. Meanwhile, on what will be the ‘Health Day' at the BayArena, much of the focus will be on physical wellbeing. Today's matchday news.
