Yes, I'd like to see videos dispalyed.

Werkself players Jonathan Tah, Lukas Hradecky, Jonas Hofmann as well as Selina Ostermeier and Charlotte Voll take a clear position in the video - and appeal for more attention to the issue.

'Luisa ist hier!' support at the BayArena

Bayer 04 is active against all forms of sexual harassment and, on matchdays at the BayArena, offers fast, discreet and low-threshold support for persons affected. The club stands for respect for each other and is also committed to ensuring all people at the stadium feel welcome. If this is not the case and women at the stadium feel harassed then they should turn to the Fan Liaison team, the Fan Project, security personnel or catering staff at the stadium with the question 'Ist Luisa hier?' Immediate support will be provided. Further information on the offer of support in cooperation with the women's emergency line in Leverkusen, Fan Liaison and Fan Project Leverkusen e.V. is available.

In addition, Bayer 04 aims to make further advances in the campaign against violence against women. Therefore, Matthias Adler, head of fans and sustainability, will take part in a discussion with the ZONTA Club Leverkusen, which campaigns for women and girls in and around the city. Discussions at the Schloss Morsbroich will also cover current developments in Leverkusen in the protection of women from violence.

Season review 2025/26, part II: Highs and lows of an eventful season

Lying third in the Bundesliga, the Werkself made a faltering start in 2026 after the winter break, but gradually rediscovered winning ways and, as in the previous campaign, were among the top 16 in Europe and the top four in the DFB Pokal. In the Bundesliga, the Werkself also remained in the race for Champions League qualification right to the end. However, because setbacks repeatedly crept into the Werkself's performances between good displays and crucial games, it was not quite enough to secure a UCL spot in the end. A season with many ups and downs brought sixth place and qualification for the UEFA Europa League. Part II of the review of the 2025/26 season.

2025/26 season review, part I: Upheaval, change, euphoria

Following the final match of the 2025/26 season, the prevailing feeling was naturally one of disappointment after missing out on qualification for the Champions League. The Werkself finished the Bundesliga in sixth place, meaning they'll start the 2026/27 campaign in the Europa League. "But to talk negatively about everything now because of that would be wrong," stressed captain Robert Andrich following the final game, knowing that the past year at Bayer 04 was marked, more than almost any other, by the start of a new era and the courage to change – and in particular, the belief in a positive direction. Everyone was aware this process would need time. The first part of the 2025/26 season review.
