eSports players Marc and Sean Landwehr have extended their contracts with Bayer 04 for a further year following a successful 2023/24 season.
In the past season, Marc ‘Marc_Ldw23’ came fourth in the VBL Grand Final and took part in the eChampions League. Sean ‘SEAN_LDW07’ made it to 13th place at the FC Pro Open in London and also won the VBL International Series. Together, the two cousins reached the top eight in the VBL Club Championship. Josua Lehr, Head of Pre-Sales & Product Development B2B: “We are delighted to be embarking on another season together with Marc and Sean. Both boys delivered strong performances last season and represented Bayer 04 worthily on the virtual pitch. Together, we want to build on their good performances and take the next step in the new season.”
Landwehr: “Want to go one better”
The 2024/25 season will be Marc’s fifth under the Bayer cross. The 22-year-old commented on his extension: “I'm looking forward to another year under the cross on the virtual pitch. We were able to celebrate some success last season and obviously want to go one better next season.” Sean is entering his second season in black and red. The 21-year-old was also delighted: “After such a successful season, I'm happy and motivated to continue playing for the club. Of course, I'm also delighted to be on the virtual pitch with my cousin Marc. We will give our all for the coming season and build on our past performances.”

Moreira nets brace in 7-0 win over SF Baumberg in opening friendly
Bayer 04 turned in a dominant performance in a 7-0 win against fifth-tier side Sportfreunde Baumberg in their first friendly ahead of the 2026/27 season. A brace from debutant Afonso Moreira (19', 27') either side of a Christian Kofane strike (23') put the Werkself 3-0 up in the first of the two 35-minute halves in Monheim am Rhein. After the break, Victor Boniface (49', 53'), Robert Andrich (56') and Nathan Tella (67') scored for the completely changed Leverkusen team. It was therefore a successful friendly debut for new head coach Carles Martínez and his team, although the hosts also had something to celebrate despite the defeat: the match marked the inauguration of Baumberg's new ground, the MEGA Stadion.

Moreira: Bayer 04 ‘a good place to grow as a player and as a person’
A new team, a new environment, a new challenge—and yet one thing remains the same for Afonso Moreira: his attitude. Total dedication, discipline, and the drive to improve every day have defined the Portuguese player since his early days at Sporting CP. “Even back then, I realized I had to work hard to achieve my goals,” said the 21-year-old. His parents also instilled those values in him from a young age. Values that have driven him ever since, accompanied him to France when he signed for Lyon, and now also form the foundation for his new chapter at Bayer 04. At a media session, the lightning-fast winger spoke about his values, as well as his new teammates, the new coach, and his targets at the club.
