Hansa Rostock: General meeting decides on new statutes!
There is an important event coming up at Hansa Rostock next weekend: on Sunday, November 21, 2025, the association is inviting around 30,000 members to the general meeting. Directly beforehand, on Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m., the third division game against Schweinfurt is on the program and creates an additional atmosphere in the Hanseatic port city. The adult members have been eligible to vote for three months now and can look forward to exciting decisions.
The focus of the meeting is, among other things, the election of the new supervisory board. Sebastian Eggert is considered the favorite for the position of new chairman, while former players such as Heiko März are also lining up. March, who played 344 competitive games for FC Hansa between 1983 and 1998 and was even active in the Bundesliga, could come to the supervisory board as a breath of fresh air. His candidacy is particularly notable because there has been no prominent football personality on the committee since Andreas Zachhuber resigned in 2014. The promotion in March could contribute even more to an exciting chapter in the club's history. He brings with him a wealth of experience and worked in marketing for Hansa after his active career.
Changes in the statutes and criticism of the club's management
But it's not just the election campaign that keeps the club members busy. A planned change to the statutes is also causing discussion. A change is planned that will transfer the admission of new members into the hands of a special group in the future - a decision that could significantly relieve the burden on the board. In addition, in the event of a dispute, a mediation commission is set up to mediate between the parties.
The existing supervisory board team, consisting of seven members, will also stand for re-election. Even though some have already been criticized in the past for their stance on topics such as pyrotechnics, the club's management hopes for positive feedback from the participating members. Meanwhile, there are also critical voices like that of Kai-Uwe Theede, who describes Eggert as the wrong choice. On Sunday it will become clear how the members will decide on the future of the club.
Positive developments in football
In a broader context, it also shows that football is flourishing in Germany. The German Football Association (DFB) reports positive trends in membership numbers - over 7.7 million people are organized in football clubs, and in the 2023/2024 season alone there was an increase in the number of members by 4.7 percent. What is particularly pleasing is the increase in players, especially girls, and the increasing number of referees who are actively involved in the action. Football still has an integrative effect and remains an important part of society.
The coming days promise a lot of excitement and are driving anticipation for the general meeting. Hansa Rostock will not only connect the club members with each other, but also set the course for a successful future. Who will come out on top in the end? The answer will be available on Sunday at 11 a.m.
