history

Before 1979

On April 18, 1897, the Danish national team played for the first time in an unofficial game and contested this in Hamburg against a selection from Altona. At the Olympic Games in Athens in 1906 , Denmark won the gold medal. The first official international match of the Danish national team is the 9-0 victory during the 1908 Olympic Games at the White City Stadium in London against the B-team of France. Less than three days later, the Danish team won against the French A-team 17-1 and thus reached the final, in which the Danes lost 2-0 to the hosts. Two years later - on May 5, 1910 - Sct. Markus-Platz in Copenhagen was the first international game in which England was received and revenge was taken with a 2-1 win. In the ten years a total of 37 games were played, of which only nine games ended in defeat. Another two games ended in a draw, while the Danish team recorded 26 wins. After the Second World War , the Danes won the bronze medal at the Olympic Games in 1948 , and even the silver medal in 1960 . The power fluctuations or the lack of professionalism - at that time was in Danish football, the professionalism not allowed - expressed itself in a game in late summer 1961: On September 20, 1961 took place in Dusseldorf at a meeting with West Germany and against the Elf to Uwe Seeler the Danes lost 1: 5. Also because of the successes at the Olympic Games in 1948 and 1960, the Danish Football Association fought against profit. The rule was first relaxed in 1969, before professionals could play in the Danish national team from 1971.

Piontek era (1979–1990)

On July 1, 1979, the German and former Bundesliga player Sepp Piontek became the new coach of the Danish national team. Under his predecessor Kurt Nielsen, the Danes had a bad start in qualifying for the 1980 European Championships with two defeats against England and Bulgaria . Three weeks after losing to the Bulgarians Denmark won under new coach of West Germany victory in a friendly in Cadiz against Spain , with 3 could be defeated first Participation in the finals in Italy was missed, but the Danish team and the association assumed that qualifying for the 1982 World Cup would be more successful and that they would be there. In this, Sepp Piontek's team started with three defeats, but a highlight in the qualification was the 3-1 away win against the eventual titleholders Italy . Together with the away win against Spain two years earlier, the success against the Squadra Azzurra is seen as an indication of a successful future for the Danish national team. Indeed, the future should really get better, as Denmark qualified for the 1984 European Championship in France after beating the host England 1-0 at Wembley Stadium in London in 1983 . There the Scandinavians played in a group with the host French, Belgium and Yugoslavia. In the opening game against France they lost - undeservedly - 0: 1, with striker Allan Simonsen injured after a duel with Le Roux and was out for the rest of the tournament. In the second game the Danes faced Yugoslavia and won 5-0 thanks to goals from two-time goalscorers Arnesen as well as Berggreen and Lauridsen. In the last and decisive game against the Belgians, due to the poorer goal difference of the opponent, a division of points would have been enough for the semi-finals, but the Belgians, who knew some Danish players from their own league (for example, Morten Olsen , Kenneth Brylle and Arnesen played with RSC Anderlecht ) led 2-0. The Danes managed to turn the game around and won 3-2. With the win, the Danes qualified for the semi-finals and met Spain there. After six minutes Denmark took the lead through Preben Elkjær Larsen. After the chances were missed on both sides and after 120 minutes a 1-1 draw on the scoreboard, it came to a penalty shootout, where Preben Elkjær missed his penalty and Denmark was eliminated.

After the Danish national team successfully qualified for the 1986 World Cup in Mexico and also defeated the Soviet Union in front of 50,000 spectators, they achieved their first participation in a World Cup finals. In the opening game they beat Scotland 2-0. In the second game against Uruguay a 6-1 win. With a 2-0 win over West Germany - the first meeting between the two nations since the early 1970s - Denmark won the group and met Spain in the round of 16 - just like two years ago at the European Championship finals. There the Danes took the Danes in the lead, but after a bad pass from Jesper Olsen, the Spaniards equalized; with four goals from Emilio Butragueño , the Iberians won 5-1. In qualifying for the European Championship in West Germany in 1988 , Denmark managed to take part despite only having scored four goals of its own; however, the Scandinavians have only conceded two goals themselves. In the group stage at the said finals, the Danish national team faced Spain, Italy and West Germany; an overaged Danish team was eliminated from the tournament after three defeats in three games. This European Championship final round was followed by qualification for the 1990 World Cup in Italy: after two draws against Bulgaria and Greece, there were two successes against the same teams, including a 7-1 victory over the Greeks. On September 18, 1989, Morten Olsen, who ended his active career, was removed from the national team, where he scored a goal in the 4-0 win over Brazil - it was his 102nd international match. In the last and decisive game against Romania , one point would have been enough to qualify for the World Cup finals in Italy, but despite a 1-0 lead, Denmark lost 3-1 and missed the World Cup. On February 2, 1990, Sepp Piontek announced his resignation on the sidelines of the drawing of the groups for qualifying for the 1992 European Championships in Sweden .

Great success under Møller Nielsen (1990–1996)

Horst Wohlers was traded as the favorite to succeed Piontek , but his club Bayer 05 Uerdingen refused to release. The new coach of the Danish national team was the previous junior national coach Richard Møller Nielsen , who had also acted as assistant coach to Sepp Piontek. Hans Bjerg-Pedersen, a connoisseur of Danish football who was also the head of Lyngby BK , and Jørgen Mikkelsen, a former chairman of Odense BK , had opposed him before Møller Nielsen was enthroned. Bjerg-Pedersen recalled the “international youth game” between Denmark and Bulgaria, which the Danish team, supervised by Richard Møller Nielsen, lost 7-0, although in Hans Bjerg-Pedersen's opinion Møller Nielsen was “a catastrophe” in tactical terms. His success as a coach of the Olympic team was also put into perspective. At the start of the European Championship qualification there was a 4-1 win against the Faroe Islands, before a 1-1 draw in the away game against Northern Ireland. Denmark then lost 2-0 to Yugoslavia; the Yugoslav team was traded as the biggest opponent in the fight for the place at the European Championship. The Laudrup brothers Michael and Brian then withdrew from the national team. Richard Møller Nielsen, who was controversial both in the Danish press and partly in the Danish team, then managed a 2-1 win in the second leg against the Yugoslavs on May 1, 1991. Although the remaining games in qualifying were all won, participation in the final tournament in Sweden was missed by one point. Since the group winners from Yugoslavia were excluded from the tournament due to the Yugoslav war , Denmark moved up. According to legends, the team was taken from vacation, but the Danish league was in operation until three days before the opening game at the European Championships and on June 3, 1992 the Danish national team played a friendly against the CIS in Brøndby . In the first game against England there was a 0-0 despite a shot from the post by John Jensen , in the second game against hosts Sweden the Danes lost 2-0. In the last and decisive game against France, the Danish team won 2-1 with a goal by Lars Elstrup, who was substituted on for Brian Laudrup, and Denmark moved into the semi-finals due to the Swedes' victory in the parallel game against England. There the Scandinavians met the tournament favorites from the Netherlands . After 120 minutes it was 2-2 and after the Dutchman's Marco van Basten missed on penalties and Kim Christofte then scored, the Danes were in the final. There they beat the favorite world champion Germany 2-0 with goals from John Jensen and Kim Vilfort .

In qualifying for the 1994 World Cup , they failed very close, after four of twelve games ended with a point division and seven games could be won, with a single goal missing to participate; Ireland had the same goal difference as Denmark (+13). At the European Championship in England in 1996, however, the Danes were there. "As planned" there was a 1-1 draw in the opening game against Portugal . However, this was followed by a 3-0 win against Croatia . In the last and decisive game against Turkey , the Danes won 3-0, but were eliminated due to the result in the parallel game. Richard Møller Nielsen then resigned as national coach.

Time under Bo Johansson and first Olsen years (1996-2004)

The Danish Football Association appointed the 54-year-old Swede Bo Johansson , who is a proven connoisseur of people, as his successor . The Danish team only managed to qualify for the 1998 World Cup in France on the last day of the match, after a 0-0 win against Greece in front of 77,000 spectators in Athens and goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel showed an outstanding performance. After three defeats against Norway (0: 2), Sweden (0: 3) and Cameroon (1: 2) in the friendly matches before the final tournament, Denmark started with a 1-0 win against Saudi Arabia with a goal of Marc Rieper in the tournament. After the Danish team did not get more than 1-1 against South Africa in the second game, they lost the decisive game against hosts France 2-1, but they made it to the last sixteen. In the round of the last 16 Denmark beat Nigeria 4-1 after goals from Peter Møller, Brian Laudrup, substitute Ebbe Sand and Thomas Helveg. In the quarter-finals it was against defending champions Brazil and after a quick lead by Martin Jørgensen for the Danes holding and opposing, the Brazilians managed to turn the game around before Brian Laudrup scored the 2-2. In the end, Brazil won 4-2, but the Danes were eliminated with their heads held high.

After the European Championship in 2000 in the Netherlands and Belgium, for which the Danes qualified via relegation against Israel and where they were eliminated after the group stage, Morten Olsen took over the position of national coach. At the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea , Jon Dahl Tomasson and Ebbe Sand formed the storm. Denmark achieved the group victory by beating France 2-0 and reached the round of 16, in which they were eliminated by a 3-0 defeat against England. At the European Championship , which took place in Portugal two years later , the Danish team started with a goalless draw against Italy, but won their second game against Bulgaria 2-0. In the last game against Sweden, a 2-2 draw would have been enough for both teams to reach the quarter-finals. In this game Denmark led 2-1 until shortly before the end, before Mattias Jonsson managed to equalize for the Swedes and both teams actually made it to the quarter-finals. The game was the subject of controversy among the Italian public before and after the game. Denmark lost 3-0 to the Czech Republic in the quarter-finals and was eliminated.

Another eleven years under Morten Olsen (2004–2015)

After missing both the 2006 World Cup in Germany and the 2008 European Championship in Austria and Switzerland , Denmark managed to qualify for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa . There the Danes were eliminated after the group stage, after only winning the second group game against Cameroon (2-1). Two years later at the European Championships in Poland and Ukraine , Denmark faced the vice-world champions from the Netherlands, Portugal and third place in the World Cup, Germany. Here too - despite a surprising win at the start against the Netherlands - they were eliminated after the group matches. As a result, Denmark was unable to qualify for both the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and the 2016 European Championship in France . Morten Olsen then resigned after 15 years as national coach.

Term of office under Hareide (2016-2020)

He was succeeded by the Norwegian Åge Hareide . In qualifying for the 2018 World Cup in Russia , Denmark took second place in the table with 20 points and qualified for the final round of the World Cup via the qualifying games against Ireland. In the second leg in front of 51,700 spectators in Dublin , the Danish team were initially 0-1 behind, but they didn't give up and won the game 5-1. At the finals in Russia, the Danes reached the round of 16 and were eliminated from Croatia on penalties. Åge Hareide's contract was not renewed after 4 years as national coach.

Present under Hjulmand (since 2020)

His successor was Kasper Hjulmand .

The Danish team at the 1912 Olympics

In the first few years the Danish team was very successful at the Olympic Games. At the unofficial games in 1906 , Denmark, represented by a Copenhagen city selection, won the gold medal, in 1908 , 1912 and 1960 silver and in 1948 the bronze medal. In 1972 you reached the intermediate round again. The Danish senior national team was one of the few Western European senior national teams that took part in the Olympic Games and the qualifying games until the 1980s. Record national player Peter Schmeichel played eight qualifying games for the Olympic Games in 1987 and 1988, which FIFA no longer recognizes as A international games, but which are counted by the DBU. He is therefore listed in the FIFA statistics with 121 international matches.
