Hansa on the way to the Regionalliga?

Is the traditional club F.C. Hansa Rostock in an unstoppable downward spiral?

After 15. After just one matchday, coach Karsten Baumann’s men are in 19th place with just 14 points. Table place. Pointgleich behind it stands only Holstein Kiel.

In May 2022, the Rostock city council then voted in favor of a package of measures that ensured the club’s survival through some financial waivers from creditors and the Rostock tax office.

In order to strengthen the squad, the club needs the help of sponsors. Since it comes in the current situation of course not very convenient that the long-time sponsor “Wohnungsgenossenschaft Union Rostock e.G.” will stop its commitment. Deadline for the end of the season on 30. June 2023 contract expires. The promotion of the Hansa youth would one however further pursued.
