Successful season finale: Members event at the BayArena

Standing on the pitch where the Werkself players perform - for many Bayer 04 club members, this wish became reality at this year's Members' kickabout. Around 400 active participants of all ages took the opportunity to experience the BayArena from a new and special perspective. And there was also plenty going on in the stands: The event attracted more than 1,000 visitors in total and provided an atmospheric end to the season.

Throughout the morning, the pitch belonged to the youngest and oldest members at Bayer 04, with almost 130 children from the Lions Club and some Silver Lions showing off their skills in tournaments lasting around two and a half hours. In the end, Team Tella and Team Andrich came out on top among the Lions. This year, all participants received a personalised certificate as a memento. Team Schneider was particularly impressive in the Silver Lions' competition, ultimately winning the tournament undefeated to lift the trophy.

full commitment from Teens and Bayer 04 Club

In the afternoon, more than 200 participants from the Teens and the Bayer 04 Club took to the pitch. As before, the focus was on having fun playing together. Over the course of three and a half hours, the 24 teams compted with great enthusiasm for the Members Kick Cup. The group stage was followed by a knockout round, Team Grimaldo won the final 3-1 after a penalty shoot-out.

hands-on activities and raffle for a good cause

There was also plenty on offer off the pitch. Many spectators enjoyed the relaxed ambiance at the stadium and created a great atmosphere by cheering loudly. In the north-west area of the BayArena, various hands-on activities such as a bouncy castle, football boxes and a measuring station for the speed of shots on goal provided additional fun for young and old alike.

The raffle, with exclusive and signed fan merchandise on offer, was also very popular. The entire proceeds of around €1,100 went to the Leverkusen Child Protection Association. Bayer 04 would like to thank all participants and visitors for their support.
