Werder Bremen
Green-and-white, proud and back in the Bundesliga. Werder Bremen are one of German football's great institutions — four-time Bundesliga champions, DFB-Pokal winners and a club with history running deep along the banks of the Weser river.
SV Werder Bremen occupy a unique space in German football — a club with genuine title pedigree that spent years fighting relegation battles before returning to the Bundesliga in 2022. Their resurgence has been built on a combination of smart signings, an energetic tactical approach and, above all, the goals of Marvin Ducksch. The northern German city of Bremen takes its football seriously, and the Weserstadion on match days is one of the loudest in the country.
In 2025-26, Werder have their sights set firmly on Europa League qualification. Manager Ole Werner has assembled a squad that blends established Bundesliga quality with hungry younger players desperate to take the next step. Ducksch remains the talisman — a striker who scores headers, volleys and poachers' goals with equal frequency — but Bremen's strength is in their collective work rate and relentless pressing game. They are difficult to play against and even harder to break down.
With the Weserstadion rocking again and European ambitions very much alive, this is an exciting era for Werder fans who remember darker times in the lower divisions. The green-and-white shirts are firmly back in the Bundesliga's upper half conversation.
Bremen in 2025-26
Marvin Ducksch
Bremen's main man. Ducksch has been one of the most consistent goalscorers in the Bundesliga since arriving at the club — a complete centre-forward whose aerial threat, hold-up play and finishing make him a constant danger.
The Weser Derby
Matches against Hamburg SV — the Nordderby — are some of the most passionate in German football. With both clubs back in the top two tiers, the rivalry is fully renewed and the atmosphere is electric.
Europa League Push
Bremen's medium-term ambition is European football. With a settled squad under Ole Werner and a fanbase that packs the Weserstadion every home game, they have the foundation to push into the top six of the Bundesliga.
