Hansa Rostock wants to overwhelm their opponents in the friendly – today at 7 p.m.!
Today, June 26, 2025, Rostocker FC welcomes FC Hansa Rostock for an exciting test match. Kick-off is at 7:00 p.m. on the sports field on Damerower Weg in Rostock. Both teams are striving for success, especially Hansa Rostock, who are now ready to get going again after a disappointing promotion last season. Coach Daniel Brinkmann has a clear requirement: the players should gain the necessary match practice during preparation.
Hansa has already played two test matches and has impressed. On Saturday the team celebrated a 2-1 win against Danish second division side Hillerød FB, with Nils Froling and Kevin Schumacher scoring the goals. Another successful experience followed on Sunday against the northern regional league team 1. FC Phoenix Lübeck, which was won 2-0. The 17-year-old young player Fiete Bock shone here, assisting both goals from Sigurd Haugen and Felix Ruschke.
Test match without broadcast
Somewhat sad news for the fans: today's test match between Rostocker FC and Hansa Rostock will not be broadcast on free TV. A free live stream is also not available, which will disappoint many fans. However, they don't have to wait long for Hansa Rostock for more action-packed games: Hansa will face TSG Hoffenheim in the first round of the DFB Cup on August 16, 2025 at 3:30 p.m. This game will be broadcast live on Sky and it is an important duel as the last cup meeting, which took place in 2010, ended in a 0-4 defeat for Hansa. So far, the two teams have faced each other three times in the DFB Cup.
Prospects in the DFB Cup
The Hansa players are hungry for success and motivated to achieve more in the DFB Cup than in the past. Last season, promotion was the big goal that could not be achieved. Coach Brinkmann hopes that the team's experience from the test games will ensure that the team is on the right track. The two victories so far show the team's potential, but it is important to make better use of the opportunities - an aspect that the coach addressed in the last training sessions.
The coming weeks promise a lot of excitement for Hansa Rostock, both in the friendly today and in the important DFB Cup game against Hoffenheim in August. It remains to be seen whether the team can show its good hand in competitive games!
