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.
Bayern Munich come to the BayArena this Saturday with an 11-point lead in the Bundesliga as they look to take a step closer to the title.

Leverkusen are also looking to make it four Bundesliga home games unbeaten against the Bavarians. Here’s all you need to know ahead of the 15:30 CET kick-off in our matchday news.

High spirits and previously untold stories: Around 100 Bayer 04 fans packed the Schwadbud fan pub in the east stand of the BayArena on Thursday evening to be there in person for the first instalment of the new series of events entitled “Rudi lädt ein” (Rudi invites you). They listened intently as long-serving Werkself players Gonzalo Castro and Stefan Kießling chatted with record appearance-maker Rüdiger Vollborn and presenter and stadium announcer Tobias Ufer about their many years together at the club, shared amusing anecdotes and revealed dressing room secrets. Anyone who missed the premiere can already look forward to the second instalment – on 12 May, Rudi will be testing the expert knowledge of Bayer 04 fans during a quiz night.

The Bundesliga home game against VfL Wolfsburg in the first half of the season was one of those classic ‘days to forget’ for Bayer 04 Women. It started with goalkeeper Charlotte Voll being shown a red card in the first minute of the game, and following a further sending-off, coach Roberto Pätzold's 9-women side ended up losing 5-1 to last season's runners-up. At 18.30 CET on Sunday, they'll have the chance to exact revenge at the AOK Stadium - and pick up valuable points in the race for third place.
