The 2010–11 SV Werder Bremen season began on 5 July with their first training session.^[1] Werder Bremen will play its matches at Weserstadion.

Season

Approximately 250 angry Werder Bremen supporters confronted Werder Bremen coaches and players after a 4–0 loss to Hamburger SV.^[2] The fans prevented the team bus from entering the stadium; they demanded, and received, a face-to-face confrontation with the coach and players.^[2]

Werder Bremen's 13th-place finish was the worst in more than a decade.^[3]
