But there is more!
The weekend begins on Friday (10 May from 19.04 CET) with the chance to celebrate 'Promotion Day'. Almost 40 years to the day – 13 May 1979 to be exact – Bayer 04 drew 3-3 with Bayer 05 Uerdingen at the Ulrich Haberland Stadium to secure promotion to the Bundesliga and finally see the dream of top-flight football come true. This historic moment in the club's history sees the club dedicate their own event, including Q & A sessions, anecdotes and historic video material. Celebrate the whole evening with the Werkself and get to meet promotion heroes of 1979 and other surprise guests at the '19nullvier' lounge at the BayArena.
Tickets for 'Promotion Day' are available now for five euros from the Bayer 04 Fan Liaison (Fanhaus Bayer 04, Breidenbachstraße 46, 51373 Leverkusen) as well as from the Fan Kiste container from 13.30 CET on the day of the Werkself home game against FC Nürnberg (20 April, 15.30 CET). With every ticket sold, support goes to the Kreativ Schwarz-Rot (Creative Black and Red) club whose activities include financing and implementing creative ideas of the Leverkusen fans in the form of choreography. In addition, the price also includes a free drink.
The United Nations International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD) is celebrated worldwide on 3 December. Together with Bayer AG, Bayer 04 is once again setting an example for diversity and inclusion by lighting up the BayArena in purple in the evening.
