Shocking move by a handball team - This designation is not valid.

### Stuttgart Soccer Player Advises National Handball Team on Signing Undav

On their Instagram account, TVB Stuttgart shared a video showing Häfner kicking a soccer ball into an empty handball goal with his left foot. A voice speaks off-screen, followed by a pink DFB jersey flying towards Häfner. The voice says, "Kai, that was pretty good, but I don't think it's enough for the national team."

Häfner laughs and replies, "It'll be tough for me to join the bandwagon for the European Championship. But another Stuttgart player has made it. Congratulations!" He then holds up a jersey with the name "Undav" and the number "26" on it.

The big question: does the Stuttgart handball team actually have inside knowledge? Or could it be that the idea for nominating a player from soccer neighbors VfB Stuttgart is the reason for the nomination?

It's likely that the second scenario is true and the video is more of a celebration of Stuttgart soccer fans. The hashtag "#prediction" adds to this theory.

The DFB will announce the squad for the European Championship preparations on Thursday (1pm). On Friday (8 p.m., live on Dyn), TVB Stuttgart will face HBW Balingen-Weilstetten in the Swabian derby.
