Whether in the north, east, south, west or outside Germany - there are Bayer 04 members and fans everywhere who fly the black and red flag. It's a central concern for us at Bayer 04 to do something for all supra-regional members and fans. We'd like to get more involved with you as Bayer 04 members and fans and to connect you with other supporters from the same regions.
The networks can then be used, for example, to swap information about current match events, or plan and communicate offers of carpooling to joint events and tours to Werkself matches. Wherever possible, Bayer 04 will be happy to support any plans.
If you would like to join a network or simply require further information, you can contact the relevant contact person by e-mail at any time (see below).
The contact persons and registration options for the new networks are as follows:
Network Netherlands
Network Belgium
There are currently a total of ten networks for Bayer 04 fans from Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium. In Germany, the following eight networks have been created with regional aspects in mind: Network North, Network North-East, Network North-West, Network East, Network Rhine-Main, Network South-West, Network Baden-Württemberg and Network Bavaria. The areas covered by the individual networks can be seen on this map. You'll also find the contact person for each network under the link. The Netherlands and Belgium have each had their own network since the start of the 2024/25 season.
Your region doesn't yet have a contact person and you'd like to take over responsibility for your region? We're delighted to hear it! Networking also depends largely on the initiative of its members. A fixed contact person for the region helps to communicate and plan certain issues in a focused manner. As a contact person, you serve as a mouthpiece for the region and for the network members, but also in dealings with Bayer 04. We will also come up with a suitable thank-you for the effort involved.
