In the 2024/25 season, Talcid, a Bayer product for treating heartburn, was the Bayer 04 sleeve partner in the DFB Pokal for the first time. Recalling the iconic brand presence in the 1990s has gone down well with many Werkself fans – as an expression of special consideration of an historic club success.
In addition, Talcid will have comprehensive coverage at Bayer 04 Bundesliga home games on the LED perimeter hoardings at the BayArena.

The new DFB Pokal jersey with the Talcid badge is available from today at the Bayer 04 online shop and the Bayer 04 Fanwelt at the BayArena in Leverkusen.

It was only in terms of efficiency in front of goal that the Swabians had the edge over the Werkself. Head coach Carles Martínez wants to learn from this so that, in future, they can “win this sort of match too”. The Werkself review.

Rüdiger Vollborn has been at the club for 40 years, he holds the record number of Bundesliga appearances for the club (401) and is the only Bayer 04 player to have won both the UEFA Cup (1988) and the DFB Pokal (1993). And the Berliner stayed with the Werkself after ending his impressive playing career working as a goalkeeping coach for the following nine years.
