As part of the DFB’s ‘Gemeinsam Gutes Spiel’ campaign matchday, Bayer 04 are inviting interested fans to a sustainability stadium tour. The 90-minute tour of the BayArena starts today, Monday, at 16:00 CEST and is free of charge. HERE is the link to register.

In the run-up to the match, Bayer 04 are conducting a survey on fan travel. This voluntary survey takes the form of an online questionnaire which can be completed at the stadium. QR codes for the survey will be displayed on posters around the piazza. The survey is anonymous. Once the survey has concluded, a home jersey will be raffled off amongst all participants who voluntarily provide an email address.
Fan travel on matchdays is the biggest source of emissions for professional football clubs. The previous 2025 travel survey has already provided valuable information and is now to be updated so that Bayer 04 can continue to be actively involved in travel issues, based on the latest data. This information is of great importance for managing and optimising environmental efforts in the context of travel. Thank you very much for taking part.
