Hansa Rostock signs Bergh: debut in the home game against Mannheim!
FC Hansa Rostock strengthened with Viktor Bergh on Thursday. The 26-year-old full-back is on loan from Swedish first division club Djurgårdens IF for the coming season and will make his debut at the Ostseestadion on Sunday against SV Waldhof Mannheim. This new signing is not only the first player for whom a transfer fee has been paid, but also the club's ninth signing in this transfer window. This shows that Hansa Rostock is seriously aiming for promotion to the 2nd league.
Bergh has already played around 129 games in the First and Second Swedish Leagues in his career. He also brings international experience, having played nine games, including an important semi-final in the Conference League in May 2025 against Chelsea, which ended 0-1. Not to forget: He is the 14th Swede to play for Hansa Rostock in the club's history, an impressive testament to the Swedish tradition at the club.
Commitment and expectations
Amir Shapourzadeh, the director of professional football at Hansa Rostock, is full of optimism about Bergh's abilities. He emphasizes that Bergh is described as a straight-line player who is active both defensively and offensively and can provide stability and depth to the team. Bergh is expected to take on a leadership role in the team, which could prove valuable, especially after the goalless start to the season against FC Erzgebirge Aue, where keeper Benjamin Uphoff made a strong save on a penalty.
The home game against SV Waldhof Mannheim, which starts at 4:30 p.m., will certainly be an exciting duel. Many fans are expected at the Ostseestadion, which has space for 29,000 spectators. In addition to Bergh, the possible line-up of FC Hansa Rostock could also include keeper Uphoff and the offensive duo Voglsammer and Lebeau.
Market value and significance
With a market value of 600,000 euros, Bergh is the most valuable player in Rostock's current squad, as is central defender Ahmet Gürleyen. Bergh is valued for his dedicated play and his ability to influence the game. This makes him an important addition to the team, which is aiming for promotion this season in order to play in the second division again and consolidate its place in German football.
How Hansa Rostock continues the ongoing tradition of Swedish players is demonstrated not least by this commitment. Bergh brings a breath of fresh air and a lot of experience - and the Rostock team will do everything they can to carry this momentum into the coming games.
