We will set off for Freiburg by coach on Saturday morning. On arrival we will have the chance to take a closer look at Freiburg, enjoy the benefits of Germany's most southerly city and get in the mood for Sunday. The night from Saturday to Sunday will be spent at a youth hostel near the stadium.
A busy day on Sunday will start with a communal breakfast. You will then have the unique opportunity of working with members of the SC Freiburg youth club in producing a fan choreograph. This will be displayed at the Schwarzwald Stadium before kick-off. You can add your own personal touch to this unforgettable experience of a Bundesliga game against SC Freiburg. And, of course, you will be able to watch our Werkself live at the stadium in the afternoon.

After six and a half years, Exequiel Palacios is leaving the Bundesliga and moving from Bayer 04 to the Premier League. The Argentine, who as a Werkself player won the World Cup with his national team four years ago and finished as runners-up at this summer’s tournament, will play for newly promoted English side Ipswich Town with immediate effect. The 27-year-old, whose contract in Leverkusen was due to run until 30 June 2030, joined Bayer 04 in January 2020 as a promising young talent. He steadily developed into one of the best defensive midfielders in the German top flight.

When Exequiel Palacios moved from the Argentinian club River Plate to Bayer Leverkusen on 1 January 2020, the then 21-year-old could not have imagined just how successful the next six and a half years would be for him. Pala, as he is known, had already won the Copa Libertadores – the most prestigious competition in South American club football – with River Plate. But there were still so many more trophies to come.
