Special shirt sold out
All gone. After just a few days, the adult sizes were sold out and now the last children's shirts have been sold. The special shirt for the club anniversary of '40 years Bundesliga' is now sold out.
The limited edition shirt has been developed in cooperation with our partners JAKO. The design is based on the kit for the 1978/79 season when Bayer 04 gained promotion to the Bundesliga. Both the main sponsor Barmenia Versicherungen and sleeve partner Kieser Training have agreed not have the branding on the shirt to reflect the traditional look. The special shirt is limited to 4,000 with each one numbered.
Anyone who does want to wear the 'Cross on the chest' at the weekend can grab their chance at the fan shop at the BayArena on the last home matchday of the season on Saturday or on 'Tradition day' on Sunday. On the two days, there are remainders of the white goalkeeper shirt for sale that the Werkself keeper will wear against FC Schalke 04.

Back where it all began: Profile of Moussa Diaby
He knows the dressing room, the pitch and the club. But, above all, he knows the feeling of playing for the Werkself at the BayArena: Moussa Diaby is back in Leverkusen after three years. The lightning-fast winger has signed a contract with Bayer 04 until 2031 and he will once again wear the number 19 jersey. The left-footed player previously played for the club from 2019 to 2023, having arrived in the Rhineland from his native France as a promising young talent and eventually leaving the club – having established himself as one of the Bundesliga’s best attackers – to join Aston Villa in the Premier League. Now he has returned to Bayer 04 from Al-Ittihad FC in Saudi Arabia.
