Rostock, Germany — April 2, 2026 German third-tier football club Hansa Rostock will attempt to set a world record for the largest fish sandwich assembly this Saturday before their crucial 3. Liga match against Viktoria Köln. The ambitious culinary endeavor, organized in partnership with catering provider w.Holz GmbH, will take place on the Westpromenade near Rostock’s stadium. The event aims to draw attention to the club’s promotion push while also raising awareness for organ donation initiatives.
Individual portions of the fish sandwich will be available for purchase at catering stands and on the North Forecourt starting at 12 pm local time. The record attempt is scheduled to conclude before the 3. Liga match kicks off later that afternoon.
Promotion Push and Match Context
Hansa Rostock enters the weekend sixth in the 3. Liga table, just two points behind the promotion spots with eight matchdays remaining in the season. A victory against struggling Viktoria Köln, who have lost their last four matches, could prove pivotal in their campaign for a higher-division return.
The club has tied the record attempt to its broader community engagement strategy, including organ donation awareness campaigns. Such initiatives have become increasingly common among German football clubs seeking to leverage their platforms for social causes.
