It is another milestone in the emotional Bayer 04 club history and an impressive sign of how deeply rooted Bayer 04 is in the city and the region but also throughout Germany and even abroad.
The development in membership numbers over the past months and years has been equally impressive as rapid: in October 2022, Bayer 04 had 30,000 members, and the 50,000 barrier was broken the start of April of this year. Now, just seven months later, the next record number has been achieved in the membership at Bayer 04 that started in 2002: 66,666!
A lot has happened since then – regionally, nationally and internationally: Around 44,000 members come from the region in and around Leverkusen including 12,000 from the city itself. Across Germany there are 16,000 members from national networks from outside North Rhine Westphalia.
And Bayer 04 now also has over 6,000 members outside the borders of Germany including members on every continent – an expression of the attraction of the club as well as the enormous breadth within the membership base.
"It's a development that makes us proud and makes us want to say thank you. To all members – whether young or old, a long-established fan or a brand-new member. It also serves as inspiration to always offer our members something special in the future," said Marc Jansen, head of membership at Bayer 04.

A fresh look for the BayArena: The Bayer 04 stadium will have new seating in the form of folding seats for the 2026/27 campaign that will ensure significantly improved seating comfort and simplified movement within the rows of seats. As part of routine replacement after 17 years, fans of the Werkself were able to purchase the existing seats, used to witness the first German league title in the club's history. In addition, a large proportion of the seats will be donated to charitable projects, primarily in the local region. Bayer 04 fans can look forward to new, functional folding seats for the season opener at the beginning of August - still in the club colours of black and red, of course. A glimpse at the BayArena during the refurbishment.
