"BERGISCHE KRANKENKASSE and Bayer 04 Leverkusen have been working together since 2020 and now it's clear: The partnership is being extended! As the official health partner of the Werkself, BERGISCHE not only supports the club, but also the people from the region," says Frank Goworek, deputy director of BERGISCHE KRANKENKASSE. "The partnership stands for more than just sport - it stands for responsibility, education and innovative health services that are close to the people."
The BERGISCHE KRANKENKASSE logo will therefore also be visible on the media backdrops in the Mixed Zone and at press conferences at the BayArena before and after Werkself matches over the next three years. The fact BKK will also be a partner of the Bayer 04 Football School is just one element of the long-established company's partnership with the German Champions League team. Company health management, education and lectures in the area of health and prevention, the branding of the Bayer 04 Lions Club and an eSports health campaign complete the close cooperation.
