"Over the past 12 years we have constantly seen how important the commitment of countless volunteers is for organised club football," said Meinolf Sprink, director of fans/community at Bayer 04 Leverkusen. "Therefore we are happy to have the opportunity to give all clubs in the region the chance to present themselves and their volunteering commitment for the thirteenth year and also have the chance of additional recognition of their commitment to the game."
Interested clubs from the FVM and FVN associations can apply immediately with their projects. Either via email (wir04helfen@bayer04.de) or via post to Bayer 04 Leverkusen Fußball GmbH, under the heading of volunteer prize: Bismarckstraße 122-124, 51373 Leverkusen. Please note only the presented commitment can be assessed.
The closing date for applications is 27 October 2019. Awards will be presented to winners at the Bundesliga match between Bayer 04 Leverkusen and SC Freiburg on Saturday, 23 November 2019.
The two main winners last year were Spielvereinigung Frechen 1920 e.V. (FVM) and Sport-Ring Solingen 1880/95 e.V. (FVN). The advisory committee of the two association presidents Bernd Neuendorf (FVM) and Peter Frymuth (FVN) plus the Leverkusen coordinator Marc Adomat are again looking forward to a large number of impressive applications.

New seating for the BayArena - donation and reuse of existing seats
A fresh look for the BayArena: The Bayer 04 stadium will have new seating in the form of folding seats for the 2026/27 campaign that will ensure significantly improved seating comfort and simplified movement within the rows of seats. As part of routine replacement after 17 years, fans of the Werkself were able to purchase the existing seats, used to witness the first German league title in the club's history. In addition, a large proportion of the seats will be donated to charitable projects, primarily in the local region. Bayer 04 fans can look forward to new, functional folding seats for the season opener at the beginning of August - still in the club colours of black and red, of course. A glimpse at the BayArena during the refurbishment.
