Of the 16 teams participating in Euro 2012, all but three have chosen to set up their bases for the tournament in Poland. This has led to some absurd situations; for example, not a single team from Group B is staying in Ukraine, despite all the matches taking place in Lviv and Kharkiv.

The Danes will face a 1,700 km journey for their match against Holland. “We wanted to combine the best facilities for preparation with a pleasant, family atmosphere. In Kolobrzeg, the players should feel almost as if they were at home. The distance to the match isn’t a problem, because we can reach the airport in under an hour,” explained Danish coach Morten Olsen.
