The Bayer 04 Women have Sunday matches in their first two fixtures of the 2021/22 campaign with an away game at promoted Carl Zeiss Jena and a home encounter against SGS Essen; the second home game on matchday three against Turbine Potsdam has been chosen as the top match on Friday night and it will be broadcast live on Eurosport.
Sunday, 29 August, 13.00 CEST: FC Carl Zeiss Jena vs Bayer 04
Sunday, 5 September, 14.30 CEST: Bayer 04 vs SGS Essen
Friday, 10 September, 19.15 CEST: Bayer 04 vs FFC Turbine Potsdam
Fans will also be able to watch all the other Bayer 04 Women's games live in the coming season: The DFB and partner Telekom have made a massive investment in raising the profile of the FLYERALARM Women's Bundesliga and are showing all the matches in the top-flight league for the first time live on Magenta Sport. In addition, as in the past, one game per matchday will be broadcast on Eurosport. ARD also has the right to show an additional live game per matchday as well as highlights. Beyond that, the broadcaster will also provide regular updates on Saturday games on the Sportschau and thereby integrate the FLYERALARM Women's Bundesliga into their programme over the long term.

This special event showed once again how strong Bayer 04 are as a team: As part of ‘BarmeniaGothaer gives joy’, the Werkself players Edmond Tapsoba, Ibrahim Maza and Christian Kofane supported the sale of individually designed T-shirts for a good cause at the Fanwelt on Thursday. Several hundred fans came to take part in the charity campaign. Leverkusen's main sponsor BarmeniaGothaer donated the proceeds to the Fondation Edmond Tapsoba, which helps people in Tapsoba's home country of Burkina Faso in their challenging everyday lives.

Rüdiger Vollborn has been at the club for 40 years, he holds the record number of Bundesliga appearances for the club (401) and is the only Bayer 04 player to have won both the UEFA Cup (1988) and the DFB Pokal (1993). And the Berliner stayed with the Werkself after ending his impressive playing career as he worked as a goalkeeping coach for the following nine years. Vollborn now works under the Bayer Cross as a fan liaison officer and club archivist. Since February 2021, the personalised Black and Red lexicon takes Werkself fans under the heading of 'Rudi recounts...' on a brief trip through the history of Bayer 04 every month…

From Ouagadougou to Leverkusen – and back: in March, Bayer 04 travelled with Edmond Tapsoba for a special project in his homeland Burkina Faso. The country where his roots and heart lie. The country where he’s more than a world-class defender: a symbol of hope and a role model for an entire generation. The result is a 45-minute documentary about Tapsoba’s long journey from Africa via Portugal to Leverkusen, which offers extraordinary, one-off and emotional insights.
