The German Football League (DFL) invited the representatives of the Kids Clubs to Dresden for a general meeting to build on the current success and strengthen the dialogue between the Bundesliga clubs.
Bayer 04 were also represented at the meeting as the significance of the commitment to the youngest members has continually grown over the past few years due to a great response. It demonstrates that professional care and special offers are extremely important for young football fans.
That is why many clubs, including Bayer 04, are working on this to get more children interested in football and encouraging them to treat each other with respect. The main focus is to convey common targets and values to the young fans that are also important beyond football. The general meeting provided an ideal opportunity for discussion that was eagerly taken up by everybody involved with the aim of continuing with the positive development of Kids Clubs over the recent past.


Former Bundesliga and Germany keeper Manfred Manglitz, who was promoted to the Oberliga West with Bayer 04 in 1962, passed away on Monday at the age of 86.
