| Danish FA appeal UEFA decision
The Danish Football Association (DBU) has lodged an appeal with UEFA against the decisions taken by UEFA's Control and Disciplinary Body in relation to the abandoned UEFA EURO 2008 qualifier against Sweden in Copenhagen on 2 June.
On Friday, UEFA awarded the match to Sweden by default, the DBU were fined CHF100,000 (€61,000) and ordered to play its next 4 home UEFA EURO 2008 qualifiers at least 250km from Copenhagen.
These matches are the games against Liechtenstein (12 September), Spain (13 October), Latvia (17 October) and Iceland (21 November).
The Liechtenstein tie will also have to be staged behind closed doors.
German referee Herbert Fandel abandoned the qualifier in the closing stages with the scores level at 3-3.
He had awarded a penalty to Sweden and given a red card to Denmark's Christian Poulsen when a spectator came on to the pitch and assaulted him.
Midfielder Poulsen was also been banned for 3 competitive internationals for striking an opponent. |
