Season launch: Exclusive Q&A with Simon Rolfes and Thomas Eichin

Fancy asking the Bayer 04 managing director sport and the director of professional teams a question? You have the chance to do just that at the exclusive members’ event as part of the 2026 season launch. Following the men’s friendly against Sevilla on Saturday 8 August, Simon Rolfes and Thomas Eichin will be on hand to answer questions from Club members at the Schwadbud. Apply now, up to and including Sunday 2 August, to secure your place and find out from the pair everything you’ve always wanted to know. The selected club members will also each receive two tickets for the season launch.

At 17:30 CEST, the doors of the Schwadbud, to the east of the BayArena, will open for guests attending the Members’ Q&A. From around 18:00 CEST, Simon Rolfes and Thomas Eichin will then spend about an hour answering questions from the Werkself fans in attendance covering a wide range of topics.

Club members can now register for the event up to and including Sunday 2 August. Accompanying guests are not permitted, and places are limited. For this reason, places will be allocated by a draw from among all fully completed registrations received by the deadline. When registering, let us know the question you would like to put to Rolfes and/or Eichin.

REGiSTER NOW

Club members who have secured a place will receive an email confirming their place once the registration deadline has passed, including all the key information about the event. They will also receive two tickets each for the season launch. Take this opportunity to get a special behind-the-scenes look at Bayer 04 and apply now.
