With increased life expectancy and the associated gain in active years, Bayer 04 want to offer young members from 55 years of age upwards a varied and entertaining programme of events. Key aspects here are active participation in social activities and to maintain mobility in advancing years.
For example, a Walking Football training session is held every Wednesday morning where the focus is on maintaining mobility and, above all, having fun and enjoying company.
In addition, trips are planned to attend Werkself away games where the Silver Lions will have the opportunity to play against Walking Football teams from opposing clubs. And, of course, it also involves watching Bundesliga matches.
This results in – including beyond the boundaries of the club - the development of social contacts and a real team spirit.
If you have any questions, suggestions or applications relating to offers to do with the Silver Lions you are welcome to call us on 0049 (0)214 8660866 or contact us via e-mail at club@bayer04.de.

Bayer 04 and main sponsor BarmeniaGothaer have shown great commitment to the community as the sale of custom-designed T-shirts for charity in the Fanwelt as part of the “BarmeniaGothaer Brings Joy campaign raised a good €5,000.
