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 #SCPB04: Taking the positive feeling of a last-minute win

It took 120 minutes, but once again Bayer 04 produced a late goal to win their DFB Pokal second-round tie away at Paderborn on Wednesday. “Same as always” was the line in Bild in homage to the 2023/24 double-winning season. With Jeanuel Belocian making his first start in over a year and Ibrahim Maza netting his first Werkself goal to secure a place in the last 16, Jonas Hofmann is eager to “take the positive feeling” into the next round.

A DFB Pokal thriller that had it all - including a positive outcome from a Bayer 04 perspective. After a goalless and uneventful first half, the second round tie at SC Paderborn 07 really took off: Following a red card for the second division side, Grimaldo scored to give Bayer 04 a 1-0 lead but Paderborn levelled before the end of normal time. The home side then turned the game round at 2-1 in extra time, before Quansah, Maza and Garcia scored for the Werkself to make it 4-2 to seal a place in the Round of 16.
