The counselling centre, which has been in existence since 1986, is aimed at girls and women who have experienced sexual assault of any kind, as well as their relatives, partners, friends and professionals in the psychosocial and educational fields. The Women's Helpline's services are free of charge and can also be used anonymously. At Leverkusen's home game against Eintracht, the emergency helpline was represented with its own information stand in the stadium concourse.
With the donation, which was rounded up to a total of €2,500, the works club is joining the joint campaign of clubs in the 3. Liga and Women's Bundesliga for social engagement, responsible corporate governance and the protection of the planet.
Bayer 04 also cooperates closely with the Leverkusen Women's Helpline beyond the sustainability matchday: Together with the club, Fan Liaison team and Fanprojekt Leverkusen e.V., the works club introduced the ‘Luisa is here’ support programme in February 2023, which is primarily aimed at people affected by sexual harassment in the stadium on matchdays, but also serves as a point of contact for other forms of violence and discrimination.
A group of about 50 members of the Bayer 04 Football Academy São Paulo visited Leverkusen over the past few days, accompanied by Bayer 04 club legend Paulo Sergio and Luiz Felipe (managing director of academy in São Paulo) for a week full of football, encounters and very special insights. In addition to the Bundesliga away game in Elversberg and the home game against Union Berlin, the visit also featured a joint training session with the Bayer 04 Football Academy in Leverkusen and a tour of the Bayer AG facilities. The guests also gained special insights into the club and the world of Bayer 04.

“Diaby! Diaby! Diaby!” was the cry around the BayArena as the Werkself danced in front of the north stand following their 4-0 win over Union Berlin. Captain Edmond Tapsoba gave his new (and old) teammate a friendly shove forward to take in the acclaim from the fans. The returning Frenchman was typically reserved in thanking the supporters but was clearly emotional about what was happening.
