Danish Club AaB Shuts Down Player Restaurant After Mouse Droppings Found in Kitchen
Danish Superliga club AaB has been forced to shut down its player restaurant after mouse droppings were discovered in the kitchen during a surprise inspection by the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration.
The findings add to a challenging period for the Northern Jutland club, which is already grappling with stadium issues due to harsh winter conditions and financial struggles, with debts reportedly around €7 million.
Confirming the development, Chairman of the Board, Claus Fallingborg, stated that the droppings were found in the basement of the facility that serves daily breakfast and lunch to the club’s players.
“We are now taking all precautions and have closed the kitchen. It will be thoroughly cleaned, and any entry points will be sealed,” Fallingborg said.
Despite the closure, he assured that the Superliga squad would not be affected, as alternative food arrangements had been made. “We will bring in food from outside. It’s the rest of us who might struggle,” he added.
Fallingborg also dismissed concerns that players had consumed contaminated food. “I’m not an expert, but based on the information we received, there has been no direct contact with the food.”
AaB, currently sitting ninth in the Superliga, is set to face FC Midtjylland at home on Sunday.
