They assist educational institutions, for instance, with setting up flag football tournaments. Now that the sport is gaining popularity in Stuttgart as well, the Falcons and VfB have partnered. The release of the draft result took place at the MHPArena, where a class of fifteen students and two teachers were invited. Following a tour of the stadium, the young football fans from America got to know the VfB mascot Fritzle. They also revealed JD Bertrand’s selection live over a video link to Atlanta with Cacau.
