“Organised club football plays an important role in our society. We see that particularly when we have to make do without them,” said Meinolf Sprink, Director of Fans/Community at Bayer 04. “We have to thank countless clubs for their outstanding voluntary commitment with football as a constant companion in our lives.”
The two main winners last year were the two football clubs FC Hertha Bonn 1918 (FVM) and SC Viktoria Rott 1989 (FVN). The committee with association presidents Bernd Neuendorf (FVM) and Peter Frymuth (FVN) plus Leverkusen official Marc Adomat is looking for a large number of convincing applications this year.
Interested clubs from FVM and FVN can apply immediately with their projects – either via e-mail (wir04helfen@bayer04.de) or by post to Bayer 04 Leverkusen Fußball GmbH, reference: Ehrenamtspreis, Bismarckstraße 122 – 124, 51373 Leverkusen.
Please note that only submitted commitment can be assessed. Closing date is 30 October. The winners will receive their award at the BayArena as part of the DFB Volunteering matchday.

In the end, it was the side from Sinsheim who sealed a 3–0 victory after “hectic closing stages” (kicker). The Werkself review.
