Werder Bremen's squad at the start of the season consists of 34 players with an average age of 25.2 years. Manager Ole Werner's team is therefore relying on a mix of experienced figures and young talents, who are on average slightly older than in the previous campaign.
Nine players in this season's squad are internationals, regularly featuring for their respective countries. With 22 foreign professionals, the proportion of players from abroad has reached a high level of 64.7 percent. This international character highlights the club's changed transfer policy in recent years.

The team's home remains the Weserstadion with a capacity of 41,800 seats. In the current transfer window, Werder Bremen records a net transfer surplus of €33.40 million. This positive balance results from the departures of several key players and the targeted use of the income for new signings. The current squad list provides a detailed overview of all players.
In the recent past, the squad has become younger and more international compared to earlier years. The average age structure is now significantly below the mark from three seasons ago. This development coincides with a strategic realignment aimed at long-term competitiveness. Statistics on appearances and goals for individual players can be filtered by competition.
After one match in the new season, Werder has a points average of 3.00. This perfect start gives the team momentum for the upcoming challenges. The forthcoming tests in the calendar can be viewed on the fixtures page. Ole Werner's tactical approach builds on the existing mix of dynamism and experience within the squad. The nine internationals bring additional quality from their national team duties back to the club.
The financial situation, shaped by the transfer surplus, provides the club with room for further adjustments should the opportunity arise. This season's squad size of 34 professionals is considered well-equipped for the dual burden of league and cup.
