This will be the first time the Werkself have played the Hammers. After the game in Leverkusen, the team from East London will travel on to Australia for another two friendlies.

West Ham United finished fourteenth in the Premier League last season but they secured a European spot thanks to the win against Fiorentina in the final of the Europa Conference League. The Hammers, with Germany international Thilo Kehrer in the squad, join Bayer 04 in Pot 1 for the draw in the 2023/24 Europa League campaign.
