After the successful district matchdays in Schlebusch and Lützenkirchen, Bayer 04 is now looking forward to being present in Hitdorf for fans and residents.
To strengthen the connection between Bayer 04 and the district, there will be a visit to a school in Hitdorf. The exchange with the pupils is intended to familiarise them with the values of the Werkself and create an unforgettable experience through exciting activities.
A highlight of the activities of this district matchday will take place on 30 November at the Christmas market in Hitdorf (Kirmesplatz Hitdorfer Straße). Bayer 04 will be represented here from around 4.30pm to 8pm with a wheel of fortune, a sales stand and Bayer 04 mascot Brian the Lion. The Hitdorf district shirt will also be available directly at the market. Those interested can already order it online in the Bayer 04 shop HERE.
Another special highlight is an exclusive competition for Hitdorf residents only. Residents of the area have the chance to win tickets for the match against St. Pauli. Hitdorf residents should therefore keep their eyes peeled for mail from Bayer 04 over the next two weeks.
Bayer 04 is looking forward to an unforgettable event with the Hitdorf fans and cordially invites everyone to come along and celebrate this special day together.
