Kino-Besuch Juniorinnen

junior teams attend film screening

The film "Sieger sein" ("Be a Winner") addresses socially relevant topics such as cohesion, team spirit, motivation and real integration through football. With its realistic, gritty and emotional narrative style, the film sends out a clear signal against racism and in favour of respectful coexistence. This is one of the reasons why the film was awarded the FBW rating ‘particularly valuable’ by the German Film and Media Rating. The German Football Association (DFB) is also a partner. The Bayer 04 U13 and U15 girls' teams watched the story of Mona, who fled from Syria to Berlin, together as part of a team evening in Leverkusen.
