“Sana was given the chance to gain experience with the first team during the Rückrunde and she showed she belongs at this level with her first Bundesliga appearances,” said Achim Feifel, sporting director of the Bayer 04 Women’s team: “In our view, she has the potential to make the step-up to becoming a Bundesliga player. Thanks to her excellent physical and fitness levels, she can continue to develop step by step with us.”




The Turkey U19 international has been playing for Bayer 04 since 2021 and she made her first appearances for the U23s in the Regionalliga West in the 2024/25 season. On 23 January, Coskun made her debut in the Google Pixel Women’s Bundesliga in the game against Union Berlin (2–1), followed by three further brief appearances in the league before the end of the season.
“For me, signing this contract has seen a huge dream come true – one I’ve been chasing ever since I arrived here,” said Coskun: “I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported me along the way, and I want to help Bayer 04 in the coming years with my skills both on and off the pitch. At the same time, I want to continue developing as a player, and I’m certain that this is exactly the right place to do so.”

The sustainable use of the BayArena seats removed as part of the current stadium upgrade has taken on a new dimension: Following on from numerous Bayer 04 fans receiving their ‘Undefeated Champions seats’ and various clubs and community organisations from Leverkusen and the wider region having collected the dismantled seats, Blau-Gelbe Kreuz e.V. also made their way to the BayArena recently. The German-Ukrainian aid organisation took away around 2,100 seats; in Ukraine, these will be used to upgrade the sports infrastructure of two clubs.
