Season launch: Friendly against Real Betis – events galore

The double winners are back! For the first time since the celebrations for the Coming Home event at the end of May, the Werkself will be back for the fans at the BayArena for the official season launch on Saturday 10 August. All fans will have the opportunity to get close up to the Meisterschale and the DFB Pokal trophy with the chance to take photographs. The sporting highlight of the day is a friendly against the top-flight Spanish club Real Betis. The kick-off is at 15.30 CEST.

Visitors to the stadium can enjoy a packed programme of events for all age groups. All around the BayArena there will be a large number of games available. That is particularly aimed to please the youngest Black and Red fans. One highlight for everybody is the two trophies on display on the concourse before, during and after the match. Photos can be taken as required. In addition, fans can look forward to exciting interview guests with the stadium announcers 'Pitti' Dahl and Tobias Ufer. Of course, the Werkself squad and the Bayer 04 Women's team will be officially presented.

And it will be worthwhile staying on at the BayArena after the game: The Werkself and the Bayer 04 Women's team players will distribute balls and other Bayer 04 gifts to the fans supported by children from the Löwenclub. They will be on the pitch close-up to Lukas Hradecky and Co. lending a hand with this event. Information on applications via the Löwenclub will follow shortly on the club media channels.

Tickets for the season launch are available from Tuesday 16 July. Further information on ticket sales can be found HERE.
