The DGI-Byen Hotel in the Danish capital informed Reuters over the phone that Uefa had cancelled its rooms a little over a week ago.
While the Marinelyst, which is usually the team base for the Danish national team, said in an e-mail that Uefa had cancelled the rooms booked on behalf of Age Hareideside.
