On May 18, 1988 coach Richard Møller Nielsen put him for the first time in the senior national team . In the qualifying game for the Olympic Games against Poland , he came on in the 57th minute for the other debutants of this game, Mark Strudal . In 1989 the new coach Sepp Piontek Christensen called to a tournament in Malta . On February 8, 1989, he made his first game over 90 minutes against the Maltese selection .

After another game at the tournament in Malta and a substitution in the match against Belgium in August 1989, Bent E. Christensen's career as a national team player was already over.
