From 18.00 CET, the first opponents on Tuesday night are Hamburg SV. The Hanseatic club finished eighth last term (Bayer 04 were fifth). This season they have been competing at the top of the table so far. “They are undefeated and very difficult to play against one-on-one or two-vs-two,” said Fabian ‘B04_DUBZJE’ de Cae who returns to the Werkself matchday squad after recovery from illness.
Bayer 04 are in striking distance of HSV in third place in the table and are just three points adrift. SC Paderborn 07 are not in the leading group. The club from the north-east of North Rhine-Westphalia are currently tenth but, like Hamburg, have played one matchday less then the #B04eSportler. The Werkself have a nine-point cushion over SCP 07 at the moment. De Cae and Co. want to extend that – ideally after a successful opener against the top team tonight.

Bayer 04 Leverkusen have secured a new premium partner in the form of DRIVIO. DRIVIO, already part of the club’s partner portfolio as a reliable car subscription partner for Bayer 04, will continue to support the club in this capacity and, with immediate effect, also join the premium group of companies that cooperate closely with the Werkself. The premium and car subscription partnership between Bayer 04 Leverkusen and DRIVIO will initially run until 30 June 2027.

Under the slogan ‘Holidays without War’, 60 children from war-torn Ukraine took part in the summer camp organised by the German-Ukrainian association Blau-Gelbes Kreuz in Leverkusen and the surrounding area in August. The children aged between 10 and 14 – many of whom have lost their parents in the war – come from the Ukrainian twin towns of Leverkusen, Cologne and Monheim am Rhein: Nikopol, Dnipro and Volodymyr. Bayer 04, Bayer AG and TSV Bayer 04 supported the camp to mark its 10th anniversary, enabling even more children and young people than in previous years to spend a few carefree days’ holiday away from the war in the Rhineland.
