The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, told police she has no memory of the incident and the prosecution said she was too drunk to consent to sexual intercourse.
The incident happened at a Premier Inn near Rhyl after the footballers had been on a night out in the seaside town on May 29.
The footballers met when they were 10 years old and shared digs while they attended the Manchester City youth academy.
