Hansa Rostock meets Hoffenheim in the DFB Cup – a prestigious duel!
In an exciting draw at the German Football Museum in Dortmund, it was announced today that FC Hansa Rostock will face TSG Hoffenheim in the first round of the DFB Cup. The match will take place between August 15th and 18th in Rostock's Ostseestadion, which can hold up to 29,000 spectators. The exact date has yet to be officially confirmed. Baltic Sea newspaper reports that FC Hansa's director of professional football, Amir Shapourzadeh, is optimistic about the game.
The novelty of this encounter is that Rostock and Hoffenheim have not yet had to compete against each other in a league game. However, they had already met several times in the DFB Cup. Unfortunately, two of these games were lost for Hansa, but the first meeting in August 2008 ended in a 2-1 win for Hansa. Many Hansa fans will certainly look back on the exciting historical record with anticipation, as it remains to be seen whether the team can mature in the DFB Cup. TSG Hoffenheim makes it clear that they are taking the challenge in the Ostseestadion seriously.
Hansa Rostock in the DFB Cup
Hansa Rostock has been active in the DFB Cup since 1991 and was able to reach the round of the last four teams, also known as the semi-finals. This happened in the 1999/2000 season. However, the club has suffered some setbacks in recent years, such as last season when they were eliminated 5-1 by Hertha BSC in the first round. However, the most recent DFB Cup history shows that Hansa certainly has the fighting spirit and can compete against seemingly overwhelming opponents. Hansa News gives an overview of the DFB Cup record and the challenges that Rostock has had in recent years.
This season, Hansa Rostock qualified as winners of the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania State Cup and brings fresh enthusiasm from last season, where they finished fifth in the 3rd league and fought for promotion until the end. The encounter against Hoffenheim offers the team the chance to present itself to numerous football fans in Germany and perhaps also deliver one or two surprises.
Tickets and spectators
There is reason for Hansa fans to be excited, as preparations for ticket sales are already in full swing. Information about ticket sales should be available in the TSG Hoffenheim ticket center by mid-July 2025. Here too, it will be exciting to see how many Rostock fans will make their way to the Ostseestadion to support their team.
The games are not only of great importance for the players and the clubs; They also offer fans the opportunity to experience unique football moments in the DFB Cup. Rostock is hoping for a big crowd when they face the Bundesliga club and you can expect the atmosphere in the stadium to be boiling. We can only hope that Hansa Rostock delivers a committed performance in the DFB Cup in the new season!
