The reason for the change of date is the Europa League semi-final away leg for the Werkself at AS Roma on 11 May, which was just four days after the original date of the game against FC Köln. Tickets for the Bundesliga derby are still valid.
"We are fully aware that this change of date at short notice has large and unexpected implications for many of the parties affected as well as for the fans of both clubs. We would like to apologise for that and at the same time express our gratitude for all the decision-makers for their support in our endeavours," said Fernando Carro, Bayer 04 CEO.
The Bundesliga match against FC Köln on Friday 5 May at 20.30 CEST will be broadcast live on DAZN in Germany.
After Jens Nowotny was officially named a Bayer 04 honorary captain last weekend, the long-standing Werkself player is part of the Leverkusen delegation on the trophy tour to New York City next week from 11 to 14 September. In an interview with bayer04.de, the 50-year-old talked about his expectations ahead of the trip to the metropolis on the East Coast of the USA.
