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.

Werkself Review #B04FCB: 'Played with structure, passion and power'

After full time in the 1-1 draw against FC Bayern Munich, the Bayer 04 fans first had to catch their breath. Firstly because of their usual loud support, and secondly because of the great drama they'd witnessed on the pitch: three disallowed goals, two red cards and a Werkself side who "again produced a very good performance against strong opponents", as head coach Kasper Hjulmand described. The Dane was particularly enthused by the performance of young Montrell Culbreath, while Patrik Schick got to enjoy his 200th appearance under the Cross. The Werkself Review unpacks the action.
