The Danish Football Association (DBU) appealed against the sanctions imposed by the UEFA disciplinary committee on Denmark after the incidents of violence that occurred during a Euro 2008 qualifier against Sweden.

UEFA has awarded Sweden a 3-0 victory over Denmark following the abandonment of the two teams' clash last week in the Euro 2008 qualifiers after the referee was attacked by a Danish fan.

The DBU was fined $81,000 and the team was ordered to play its next four home qualifiers at least 155 miles from Copenhagen.

However, DBU secretary general Jim Stjerne Hansen claimed that there are no UEFA-approved stadiums in Denmark at that distance.

Denmark managed to come back from three goals down to level the scoring with Sweden in the game, but their efforts were shattered by the angry fan act.

Danish midfielder Christian Poulsen was also banned for three games after striking Sweden's Markus Rosenberg during the tense game.
