Denmark were the winners of the Football at the 1906 Intercalated Games and silver medalists at the 1908 and 1912 Olympics. however, as amateurs who prohibited their internationals from becoming professionals at foreign clubs, Denmark did not qualify for the FIFA World Cup until 1986, although they won another Olympic silver in 1960. Denmark has remained competitive in international tournaments. wallow in the 1992 european Championship in Sweden marked the team ‘s most outstanding victory, defeating defending champions the Netherlands in the semi-final and Germany in the final. They besides won the 1995 King Fahd Cup, defeating Argentina in the final examination. Their best World Cup solution was achieved in 1998, where they narrowly lost 3–2 in a quarter-final against Brazil. Denmark besides made the moment round in 1986, 2002 and 2018 .
Teams [edit ]
apart from the men ‘s elder A-level team, Denmark competes with a women ‘s national team, and has teams at assorted young person levels for both men and women, most prominently the under-21 national team. Historically, the A-level team competed in the Olympics until and including the 1988 tournament, whereafter Olympic games count as under-21 national games. In accession to the A-level team and youth teams, Denmark besides has a special league national team named Ligalandsholdet, with the best danish footballers from the Nordic leagues. Ligalandsholdet was created in January 1983, and has played unofficial games for the national team during the winter break of the Nordic leagues every year since, save for 2005 and 2011. Sometimes the media besides refer to Ligalandsholdet as Denmark ‘s B-team, as the best danish footballers selected for the A-team much play in leagues outside of the Nordic countries. As such, the national team coach has on several occasions outlined the aim of having unofficial matches played by Ligalandsholdet as an opportunity of testing new potential approaching danish players for the A-team .
history [edit ]
Amateur years [edit ]
The Danish team that won their first base silver decoration at the 1908 Summer Olympics 
danish team, winning the silver medals at the 1912 Olympics On 12 April 1896, Denmark XI defeated Podilatikos Syllogos Athinon with either 9–0 or 15–0, at the Neo Phaliron Velodrome in Athens in a demonstration game during the 1896 Olympic Games. [ 3 ] On 18 April 1897, a game was played in Hamburg when a choice team from the Danish Football Association defeated a survival team from the Hamburg-Altona Football Association, 5–0. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] The beginning three editions of the Olympic football event in 1900–1906 had an unofficial condition, as the consequence was not even open for home football teams to compete, and only had limited participation of three or four cabaret teams from a few nations. Denmark had no club team invited in the 1900 Olympics and the 1904 Olympics, but then received a special invitation for the 1906 Olympics, to compete against one greek club team ( Athens ) and two club teams from the Ottoman Empire ( Smyrna and Thessaloniki ). The team to represent Denmark was compiled of players from the Copenhagen Football Association ( KBU ), and they won the consequence, and thereby an unofficial gold decoration. Two years late, in the first official football tournament at the 1908 Olympics, Denmark won a ash grey decoration. At the adjacent Olympics, in 1912, the team again won a silver decoration, which was followed by a gold earned run average from July 1912 until August 1920, with Denmark ranked most of the time as number one in the world by the Elo rate. The first official national football meet was played on 19 October 1908 during the Olympic Games in London. Denmark beat France ‘s moment team 9-0 in the tournament ‘s quarterfinals. Although Denmark figured reasonably prominently in the pre- FIFA World Cup era, international success would elude them for years from the first World Cup in 1930 and ahead. Despite the state ‘s ability to produce outstanding football talents, the Danish Football Union ( DBU ) only had the ambition ( or economy ) to send the national team to play friendly matches and in the regional tournament, the Nordic Championship, from October 1920 until June 1948. When DBU opted to set their sights higher, they allowed the national team to start contesting the Olympics again, promptly resulting in a bronze decoration at the 1948 Olympics. After, the team entirely reached the quarter-final at the 1952 Olympics, with the DBU choosing not to contest the following 1956 Olympics. As football remained an amateur past-time, most of the best danish footballers moved overseas to make a living, [ 6 ] and due to DBU enforcing the govern to bar all professionals from the national team, it started to become unmanageable to assemble a highly competitive team. Denmark experienced their adjacent revival at the 1960 Olympics with a third set of Olympic silver medals. This was followed by another luminary performance at the 1964 european Nations ‘ Cup, where Denmark impressively finished in one-fourth seat. however, this polish was considered by many as being more the solution of a relatively easy draw quite than a result of a well-playing team. In order for Denmark to qualify for the semi-final, they lone had to defeat Malta, Albania and Luxembourg. In the semi-final, Denmark fell 0–3 to the Soviet Union, then lost the bronze match to Hungary. The nonindulgent govern of alone allowing amateurism at the national team was finally abolished by the DBU in May 1971, as they had acknowledged this change was needed in ordering to build a highly competitive team. In February 1978, when the DBU besides decided to allow professional football to be introduced in the Danish leagues, the way was at the lapp time paved for the national team to sign its first sponsorship with the well-known danish brewery Carlsberg. The new sponsorship enabled the DBU to hire the german Sepp Piontek in July 1979 as the beginning full-time professional coach of the national team. The broad transition of the national team from amateurism to professionalism had nowadays been accomplished, and indeed, this would soon lead to a huge improvement in the performances of the team. [ 6 ] According to Rob Smyth and Lars Eriksen, authors of a 2009 book on the “ danish Dynamite ” team that would soon emerge :
That process [ the transition to professionalism ] was accelerated by the fact that so many of the national team were playing afield, and values learned there were slowly seeping in. … Denmark got a headstart on football globalization, benefiting from the nirvana and experience that comes with playing abroad. At Euro 84, their 20-man team contained 14 overseas-based players ; the other seven teams had only five between them. At Mexico 86, their team included players from the champions of Italy, West Germany, England, Holland and Belgium, but not Denmark. [ 7 ]
danish Dynamite ( 1980–1990 ) [edit ]
In the 1982 FIFA World Cup qualification, Denmark finished with eight points from eight matches, including a 3–1 gain against the eventual World Cup champions Italy, but Denmark failed to qualify for the final examination tournament despite the impressive result. reservation for UEFA Euro 1984 saw Denmark frustration England at Wembley Stadium when Allan Simonsen converted a penalty gripe for a 1–0 gain. Denmark qualified for their beginning external tournament since 1964, and the team was dubbed “ danish Dynamite ” in a competition for the official Danish Euro 1984 song. [ 6 ] Denmark ‘s engagement ended in the semi-final when the team lost on penalties to Spain, most remembered for Preben Elkjær ‘s punishment miss, his shorts torn apart. Following the firm performance at the finals, the name “ danish Dynamite ” became a mainstay for the succeed decade of the Danish national team under heading coach Sepp Piontek. [ 8 ] Denmark made their first World Cup appearance in the 1986 World Cup, and with the attacking couple of Michael Laudrup and Preben Elkjær, the team surprised the worldly concern, sweeping the group, including a 6–1 cream of Uruguay. In the second gear round, Denmark once again face Spain and once more lose, receiving a trash of their own, losing 5–1, including four goals by Emilio Butragueño. The first spanish goal was caused by a miss-timed backpass by Jesper Olsen to Butragueño, an unfortunate action subsequently coined as “ a real Jesper Olsen ” ( “ en rigtig Jesper Olsen “ ). The phrase would live on for 13 years, and was repeated by the danish television receiver commentators in 1999, when an identical backpass was carried out by Jesper Grønkjær to Filippo Inzaghi in Grønkjær ‘s debut for the national team. [ 9 ] After the glory days of 1986, the success of the team continued, as it first qualified for Euro 1988, and then had a nearby qualification for the 1988 Olympics. In the qualification group for the Olympics, the caper to coach Denmark in these especial games, had for the first time been given to Richard Møller Nielsen, and he proved his skills, as Denmark initially secured a point for the concluding tournament – ahead of West Germany. But following the discovery that Dane Per Frimann was not eligible for the team ‘s 2–0 gain over Poland, Denmark was penalised the points of the win, and subsequently did not have adequate points to qualify. After this disappointing news had arrived, Denmark had to pin all its hope and faith for a successful operation at Euro 1988. however, the reverse happened, as Denmark ‘s engagement ended in early kill after Denmark lost all the group games to Spain, West Germany and Italy. A period of passage with hesitation results had immediately started, and as Denmark subsequently besides failed to qualify for the 1990 World Cup, Sepp Piontek resigned as head coach of the national team in April 1990, where he was replaced by his assistant, Richard Møller Nielsen .
1992 european Championship victory [edit ]
The first base goal for the newly appointed Nielsen was to qualify for Euro 1992 in Sweden. Denmark began with a batten home victory against the Faroe Islands, but the following results in the reservation were an away draw against Northern Ireland and a 2–0 home passing against Yugoslavia. Due to the inadequate begin, arsenic well as a hard disagreement with the passenger car about the new defensive team tactics, the two best danish footballers at the time, Michael Laudrup and Brian Laudrup, opted to quit the national team in November 1990. When Nielsen subsequently decided to dismiss quality players such as Jan Mølby and Jan Heintze from the police squad, due to disciplinary problems, several newspapers began demanding that Nielsen step down ampere head coach, as the team was distinctly falling apart under his influence. Despite this solid criticism, Denmark won the rest of their five matches in the qualification group, including a 2–1 aside win against Yugoslavia. however, this potent comeback was not enough to qualify, as the team silent had to settle with a second place in the group, behind Yugoslavia. What initially appeared to be a fail reservation would soon turn out to become Denmark ‘s finest hour in the international competitions. Due to international sanctions resulting from the Yugoslav wars, UEFA announced on 31 May 1992 – only ten days prior to the contest – that Yugoslavia was to be excluded from the rival and their place given to Denmark, who finished as the second-placed team in its qualifying group. [ 10 ] contrary to popular impression, [ 6 ] the team did not enter the tournament wholly unprepared, after having rallied home from seaside vacations. The majority of players were already assembled to play a friendly equal against the CIS when Denmark formally received Yugoslavia ‘s spot. [ 11 ] Relying heavily on goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel and his defense, adenine well as creative trip Brian Laudrup – having decided to make a rejoinder for the national team in April 1992 – the Danish team created one of the biggest surprises in the event ‘s history, as they went on to win the european Championship trophy under head coach Nielsen ‘s defensive bring dash. Advancing from the group stage ahead of England and France, Denmark defeated the Netherlands – the defending Euro 1988 champions – on penalties in the semi-final. then, in the final examination, Denmark won 2–0 winnings against reigning World Cup champions Germany, ensuring Denmark won its first external trophy .
decay and revival ( 1993–2000 ) [edit ]
In August 1993, one year after the Euro 1992 gain, Michael Laudrup decided to settle his ongoing dispute with Richard Møller Nielsen about the team tactics and made a comeback to the national team. however, the following years Denmark saw desegregate results, as they first failed to qualify for the 1994 World Cup, but then won the 1995 Confederations Cup, beating Copa América champions Argentina 2–0 in the final examination. As defending champions at Euro 1996, Denmark was not able to continue its previous achiever, but disappointed with a lackluster operation after an early elimination in the group phase. Results-wise, the tournament was not a complete disaster, as the team had achieved a estimable winnings against Turkey, a absorb against Portugal and only a defeat to Croatia. The rationality why both the bus and team faced impregnable criticism after the tournament was chiefly because of the defensive and “ drilling ” playing expressive style. As controversy previously had occurred in fall 1995 over the DBU ‘s decision to extend Richard Møller Nielsen ‘s sign as point bus, there was a strive kinship to the press already ahead of Euro 1996. Facing a new curl of criticism, Nielsen reached a reciprocal agreement with the DBU to terminate his compress by the end of June 1996. Nielsen ‘s refilling was the sympathetic Swede, Bo “ Bosse ” Johansson, who gave the team a more offense strategy, and the 1998 World Cup saw the revival of the Danish team, starring both Laudrup brothers in their last international crusade. After defeating Saudi Arabia 1–0, drawing with South Africa and losing 2–1 to eventual champions France, the Danish team qualified to the knockout stages as second in the group. In the next match, Denmark beat Nigeria 4–1. In the quarter-final against Brazil, the Danes went out with a 2–3 defeat to the late flatware medalists. Johansson ‘s following challenge was to qualify Denmark for Euro 2000, for the beginning clock without the Laudrup brothers. When this goal was achieved by Johansson, he received significant praise. however, at the tournament proper, Denmark disappointed with three losses in the group stage. Johansson was heavily criticized for his team excerpt, which containing several players with wound problems and in poor people form .
The Olsen Gang ( 2000–2015 ) [edit ]
The modern coach, starting for Denmark in July 2000, turned out to be the early national team captain from the successful team of the 1980s, Morten Olsen, and the team was cursorily dubbed the “ Olsen Gang ”, a address to the series of Danish movies based around the chief character Egon Olsen and his ace ( criminal ) plans. The nickname was besides sometimes used for the Danish team as an alternate to the more normally used “ danish Dynamite ”, already in those days when Olsen played as a captain. In the era with Olsen as a coach, his great feel from among others Ajax was transferred to the national team, as Denmark ‘s tactics shifted from the prefer 4–4–2 geological formation practised by Bo Johansson, to an even more attack manner with an emphasis on the rapid wingers available at the time, namely Jesper Grønkjær and Dennis Rommedahl. [ 12 ] accordingly, the Olsen ‘s prefer geological formation has been either a 4–3–3 or a 4–2–3–1. [ 13 ] [ 14 ] Olsen even possessed an outspoken opposition to the 4–4–2 system, as he threatened to leave his position as head coach in the consequence he was asked to deploy Denmark in that formation. [ 15 ] To support the development of players for the raw tactical 4–3–3 system, all home young person teams besides changed their formation. [ 16 ] Another change Olsen brought to the home team was to stress the importance of only using meet players who had been granted regular play time at their clubhouse. however, at times he was forced to compromise from this principle, as the pool of players available in the relatively small nation did not constantly provide him feasible substitute options. Denmark qualified both for the 2002 World Cup and Euro 2004, but despite impressive results in the group degree in both tournaments, particularly the 2–0 winnings against reigning World Cup winners France in 2002, Denmark did not manage to advance any further, and in both tournaments were distinctly defeated with a seduce of 0–3 in the first round off after the group stage. At the 2002 World Cup, Denmark was defeated by England in the round of 16, and at Euro 2004, they were eliminated in the quarter-finals against the Czech Republic. Euro 2004 will besides be remembered for an incident in the group stage couple against Italy, where Italy star Francesco Totti was caught on television camera spitting on Christian Poulsen, then subsequently the joint elimination of Italy by Denmark and Sweden in the last group stage pit, when the two teams drew 2–2 following a swedish goal in the 89th hour, making for the claim and celebrated consequence that would see the Italians eliminated. For the 2006 World Cup qualification, Denmark was paired with, among others, 2002 World Cup tan winners Turkey and Euro 2004 champions Greece competing for merely one guaranteed spot at the final tournament. Following a inadequate begin of the reservation, Denmark was trailing both Turkey and storm leaders Ukraine. Denmark needed Turkey to lose points in the final examination games in order for Denmark to clinch the irregular set of the group and one last find to qualify via two playoff games. indeed, had Turkey dropped points to Albania in their final match, Denmark would have gone through, but rather, they had to settle for third base target in the group and a longer summer break in. After failing to qualify for the 2006 World Cup, Morten Olsen considered leaving the occupation, having received several offers from club teams, but decided to stay and extended his contract until after the 2010 World Cup, spurred on by his and the team ‘s popularity among the danish population. [ 17 ] When Denmark ‘s attack to qualify for the Euro 2008 besides failed – after among other things, to have received an administrative kill against Sweden at home turf due to a spectator pump ‘s invasion on the field – the team was heavily criticized, with many Danes asking for the departure of Morten Olsen as a coach. This suggestion was however refused by the DBU and the majority of coaches in the Danish Superliga, who hush had trust in Olsen being the best coach for Denmark. [ 18 ] In the qualification group for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, the trust in Olsen was immediately paid back. Despite a unmanageable group with both Portugal and Sweden as higher-ranked opponents, Denmark qualified for the 2010 World Cup by winning the group, after among other things, earning two wins against Sweden and one gain and one draw against Portugal. After having celebrated the successful World Cup 2010 qualification, Olsen ‘s contract as capitulum coach was extended for two far years, until the Euro 2012. [ 19 ] At the 2010 World Cup, Denmark was grouped with Japan, Cameroon and the Netherlands. Denmark lost the first match 2–0 to Netherlands, but then had a critical 2–1 victory against Cameroon, which enabled further promotion in case of victory over Japan, in the stopping point third equal. The crippled against Japan however ended with a 3–1 kill, and thereby Denmark did not reach their aim of advancing to the round of 16. apparently the biggest cause for the lack of achiever, was however this clock, that Denmark in both the precede – and during the three games at the tournament – had struggled with a set of injuries hitting their best players. however, Denmark would n’t wait for long to please the Danish public once again. In the qualification for Euro 2012, Denmark was once again grouped with Portugal, among early countries. For a second time, Denmark clinched first locate in the group, and thereby qualified directly for the final tournament. Out of eight qualifying matches, Denmark won six, drew one and lost one. largely because of these results, the DBU extended Olsen ‘s narrow until after the 2014 World Cup. At Euro 2012, Denmark were drawn in the proclaim “ Group of death “, Group B, aboard powerhouses Germany, Netherlands and Portugal. Few gave Denmark a casual of proceeding to the second orotund before the tournament, but after upsetting Netherlands with a 1–0 victory, there was cause for optimism in the danish camp. however, a constrict 3–2 loss to Portugal mean Denmark would efficaciously need to defeat Germany in the last match to advance in the tournament. Despite Michael Krohn-Dehli ‘s counterweight, Denmark lost 2–1 to neighbours Germany, and with Portugal defeating the Netherlands 2–1 in the early match, Denmark was eliminated from the tournament after finishing third in Group B. Denmark was largely praised after the tournament, considering Denmark had exceeded expectations and were close up to advancing to the smasher stages despite being drawn in a unmanageable group. Denmark failed to qualify for the future two tournaments under Olsen. They finished second in their 2014 World Cup qualifying group but failed to achieve a play-off berth as they were the “ worst ” of the UEFA group runner-up ( after excluding results against the bottomland teams ). In UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying they finished third base in their group, behind Albania and eventual winners Portugal, but lost to Sweden in the play-offs. When measuring the performance of the national team by winning share and earned points, Olsen ‘s reign of the Danish home team from July 2000 until January 2012 has then far been the second-most successful in the era of full-time professional coaches, which began in July 1979. As of January 2012, Olsen had a victorious share of 52.8 %, and with three points for a victory and one for a disembowel, an average of 1.84 points per match. [ 20 ] In comparison, Richard Møller Nielsen still has the best record among the professional coaches of the national team, with a 54.8 % winning share and an average of 1.89 points per plot. [ 21 ]
Hareide earned run average : 2016–2020 [edit ]
New bus Åge Hareide presided over the danish crusade during the qualification stages. [ 22 ] Denmark, ranked count 24 in the FIFA World Rankings at the clock time of the string, were drawn into Group E, aboard Poland, Montenegro, Romania, Armenia, and Kazakhstan. [ 23 ] Despite suffering early defeats to Poland and Montenegro, [ 24 ] [ 25 ] the Danes rallied, and secured second gear place in the group, and a position in the play-offs, with a 1–0 off to Montenegro. [ 26 ] Denmark were rewarded for their second-place finish with a play-off against the Republic of Ireland. [ 27 ] Denmark secured reservation with a 5–1 win at the Aviva Stadium, Dublin, which included a hat-trick of goals from Christian Eriksen, who added to his match of eight goals in reservation. [ 28 ] Denmark were allocated into Pot 3 in advance of the draw for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. [ 29 ] They were drawn into Group C, aboard Australia, Peru, and eventual champions France. [ 30 ] Their political campaign in Russia began in the Mordovia Arena, Saransk, against CONMEBOL side Peru. A Yussuf Poulsen goal in the second base half secured three points for the Danes, leaving them well poised for qualification from the group. [ 31 ] however, they struggled against Australia in their second gear tie, as Christian Eriksen ‘s early finish was cancelled out by a VAR -awarded penalty, converted by Mile Jedinak, in a game which ended as a 1–1 draw. [ 32 ] Denmark secured qualification in their final group crippled, playing out a limp scoreless withdraw, the only such game of the integral tournament, [ 33 ] in the Luzhniki Stadium against France ; a result which saw both teams advancement. [ 34 ] Denmark faced Croatia in the round of 16, with the Croats having claimed victory in Group D with three consecutive wins. [ 35 ] Mathias Jørgensen scored within the first gear minute of the game to give Denmark the head, but Mario Mandzukic equalised merely three minutes by and by, leaving the teams equally perched at one goal each. [ 36 ] The meet remained at 1–1 after ninety minutes, necessitating thirty minutes of extra-time, which still failed to separate the teams, as Luka Modric saw his late penalty saved by goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel. [ 36 ] As such, the tie was to be decided with a punishment shoot-out, with Schmeichel and his croatian counterpart, Danijel Subašić, positioning themselves on the cable to face five penalties each. [ 37 ] Despite Schmeichel making two saves, it was Croatia who progressed, as Subašić saved three shots from Eriksen, Lasse Schöne and Nicolai Jørgensen respectively. Ivan Rakitić scored the decisive punishment to eliminate the Danes, [ 37 ] putting an end to their best World Cup campaign since 2002, when they were eliminated at the lapp stage. [ 38 ] Following the World Cup, Denmark prepared for engagement in the inaugural address iteration of the UEFA Nations League, having been drawn in League B against Wales and the Republic of Ireland. [ 39 ] The tournament offers an alternative route of qualification for the European Championship, [ 40 ] and increases the number of competitive games for external sides, replacing friendlies. [ 41 ]
Owing to a dispute with the players ‘ union regarding the commercial rights of the players, [ 42 ] the Danish Football Union named an wholly uncapped squad, consisting of a assortment of futsal players and players from the Danish 2nd Division and the Denmark Series ( the third and fourth grade of Danish football respectively ), in stead of the regular side, to face Slovakia in a pre-Nations League friendly, and it was feared that the same squad would be used for the competitive regular against Wales. [ 43 ] [ 44 ] The quarrel arose due to the visualize rights of the players, [ 45 ] with Hummel having the exclusive correct to the manufacture and market of danish kits. [ 46 ] The DBU wanted to use individual players, without explicit permissions, in their advertise. [ 47 ] [ 48 ] Hareide would similarly not be involved, with the side rather falling under the irregular management of John Jensen, with Hasse Kuhn serving as the adjunct coach. [ 42 ] The danish FA are presently under a four-year probationary period with UEFA for having forfeited a Women ‘s World Cup qualification game against Sweden in 2017 due to a similar dispute with the women ‘s team, [ 49 ] and a farther trespass could have resulted in Denmark being prohibited from engagement in either the 2018–19 UEFA Nations League or the 2020 european Championship. [ 50 ] After a temp agreement enabled the retort of the regular players, the Danes won their first Nations League fixture 2–0. [ 51 ] Hareide managed Denmark during the UEFA Euro 2020 qualify and got four wins and four trace resulting in a second place, which meant that Denmark qualified for the tournament. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the tournament was postponed to 2021, and Hareide ‘s compress expired on 30 June 2020. He was replaced by Kasper Hjulmand .
Hjulmand earned run average : 2020–present [edit ]
At UEFA Euro 2020, Denmark reached the semi-finals, in which they lost 2–1 after a controversial penalty in extra-time against England. [ 52 ]

Supporters [edit ]
apart from the national team, Denmark is equally celebrated for its travel fans, known as roligans. The bowel movement emerged during the 1980s as the declare resistance to vandalism. The goal of the roligan movement is calm, yet cheerful, support during the matches, as “ rolig “ means “ calm ” in the danish terminology. The roligans have since developed an persona of easy-going nature and rabid support, and are much considered amongst the world ‘s best national team fans, along with the Tartan Army of Scotland. They were jointly given the FIFA FairPlay Award at the 1984 european Championships. [ 53 ] Just before the 1986 World Cup, the roligan movement was organized in order to support the national team at the tournament. however, the well reputation of the danish supporters was sullied by the 2008 UEFA qualifier winnow attack which occurred in June 2007 in the Euro 2008 qualifying couple against Sweden when an angered danish supporter invaded the pitch and tried to attack the referee, following his decision to hand out a red circuit board for Christian Poulsen and a penalty kick back to Sweden in the death minute of the match. The attacking sports fan was stopped by some of the Danish football players on the airfield before he reached the referee, but due to the episode, the match was immediately cancelled by the referee, with UEFA subsequently deciding to award a 0–3 nonpayment defeat to Denmark as punishment .

home stadium [edit ]
For stadium history, see Parken Stadium 
Parken Stadium, with a capacity of 38,065 spectators, located in Copenhagen, and used as official home stadium by the Denmark national football team. The first home match for the Denmark national team was a 2–1 friendly acquire over England on 25 May 1910, taking place with 12,000 spectators at the stadium “ KBs baner ” ( located in the area “ Granen ”, where the Forum Copenhagen subsequently was built ). [ 56 ] As the facilities were considered besides belittled, a fresh stadium in Copenhagen was built with the diagnose Idrætsparken, that since its opening 25 May 1911 hosted all the home matches of the football club KB and most of the home matches of the national team. During the first base 82 years of the national team, from October 1908 until November 1990, Denmark played a total issue of 254 A-level home matches, of which 232 were played in Idrætsparken. Among all the played home matches in Idrætsparken, Denmark achieved 125 victories ( 54 % ), 41 draw ( 18 % ) and 66 defeats ( 28 % ). The stadium reached a record of 51,600 spectators for the 1–2 game against Sweden in June 1957. [ 57 ] In regards of the first earned run average from 1908 to 1990, only 22 home matches were played at other stadiums than Idrætsparken, of which 11 took place at Aarhus Idrætspark ( then known as Atletion ) in Aarhus, followed by Aalborg Stadion in Aalborg with six games, and the remaining five matches hosted by four other stadiums. Whenever another stadium than Idrætsparken was used for a home match, it was only for some of the less important friendly games or Olympic qualifiers. While only Idrætsparken was used to host the matches related to big crucial tournaments, like the Nordic backing, the UEFA European Championship and FIFA World Cup. When a major rebuild of Idrætsparken began in December 1990, the subsequent two official Euro 1992 reservation matches were moved to Odense Stadium in Odense. On 9 September 1992, the rebuild Idrætsparken, immediately called Parken and late renamed Telia Parken for sponsorship reasons, became the biggest venue in Denmark with a capacity of 42,358 spectators, and was opened with a friendly 1–2 kill against Germany. This first match in Parken was viewed by 40,500 spectators, [ 58 ] while the stream stadium record of 42,099 spectators was set on 8 October 2005 for a World Cup qualifying peer against Greece. [ 59 ] The capacity of the stadium was later reduced to 38,009 seats after the upper separate of the D-side was converted from 4,000 extra seats into office and VIP areas in June 2009. [ 60 ] [ 61 ] Despite this decrease in capacity, the stadium is today even the biggest venue in Denmark by far ; the next largest venue, Brøndby Stadium, only has a capacity of 26,000 seats. From September 1992 to May 2006, Parken was the sole stadium of all the men ‘s senior national team matches. however, meagre spectator defend at some of the friendly matches at Parken, which from 2000 to 2005 attracted an acceptable average of 23,862 per match – but down to 9,598 for the friendly 3–1 win over Israel in April 2002 [ 62 ] – prompted the DBU to start hosting many of the friendly matches to other stadiums around Denmark. These other stadiums had less spectator capacity than Parken, but precisely about adequate to cover the Danes ‘ slightly lesser interest for friendly matches. On 27 May 2006, Parken ‘s 13-year monopoly on national team matches was broken for the first time when Denmark played a friendly peer at the Aarhus Idrætspark against upcoming 2006 World Cup participants Paraguay. Tickets to this equal were sold out cursorily, with about 19,000 of the 20,227 tickets sold within the first hour of sale, [ 63 ] and was support-wise a big success with a sum hearing of 20,047 spectators. [ 64 ] When the two next friendly matches were played at some other newfangled venues, 16 August at Fionia Park in Odense against Poland, and on 1 September at Brøndby Stadium against Portugal, the number of spectators dropped to a disappointing level. The Poland couple attracted merely 11,088 spectators, [ 65 ] while the Portugal match only 13,186 spectators. [ 66 ] In especial, the Portugal peer was deemed as a support-wise failure because it featured a higher-ranked opposition, which spectators normally would have a high sake to watch. The main reasons why Brøndby Stadium failed to attract a gamey total of spectators were by and large thought to be a combination of the poor showery weather and the fact the stadium is located on the outskirts of Copenhagen, and as such does not attract a new demographic hearing compared to Parken, due to the travel distances being more or less the same for the majority of the population. presently, while most of the friendly matches continue to be played at some of the smaller stadiums in Denmark, it has been decided to continue playing all of the stipulate matches for the European Championships and World Cup only at Parken Stadium. [ 67 ] Those friendly matches, which are believed to create a high interest from spectators, will besides continue to be played at Parken. For example, the friendly against Germany in August 2010 was played at Parken Stadium due to the general anticipation of many spectators having a desire to watch the match. however, after Denmark ‘s weak performance at the 2010 World Cup, the friendly only drew 19,071 spectators. [ 68 ] During the final 19.5 years, from September 1992 to January 2012, Denmark played a total of 77 A-level matches at Parken Stadium, of which 49 were won ( 64 % ), 16 were drawn ( 21 % ) and 12 lost ( 15 % ).

Managers [edit ]
The duty and job description for the director of the Denmark national football team, has changed throughout the history. From 1908 to 1918, the DBU preferred to assign a director with the overall duty. This was followed by a long era from 1919 to 1956 where either no coach or only a caretaker director was assigned. When the DBU assigned Arne Sørensen ( November 1956 – December 1961 ) and Poul Petersen ( January 1962 –December 1966 ) as managers for a roll period of several years, they were given the responsibility to coach the physical train and decide the team tactics before and during each match, but had no influence upon the choice of players for the national team, which was a job for the specially-appointed choice committee, the UdtagelsesKomitéen. [ 73 ] From 1967 to 1969, the management of the team more or less became a sole duty for the UdtagelsesKomitéen, following a modern approach. In this fresh overture, the job to select players continued to be the responsibility for the UdtagelsesKomitéen, but the chair of the committee was nowadays besides appointed to be the “ tactical director ” of the national team, as the DBU realized the necessitate of having a special tactical coach assigned to get influence upon both the choice of players and the related tactics before and during the game. however, the appointed tactical director did not have the province to train the team, as a especial physical coach was rather selected for that job. In 1970, the approach with two managers assigned was again abandoned when the DBU realized the necessitate to assign merely one director with the sole province for the police squad. [ 73 ] From 1970 to 1979, the job to select players was not even a sole province of the coach alone, but alone a shared province, as this continued to be a matter for the UdtagelsesKomitéen to decide. When a excerpt of players had to be made, it was decided by a vote in the committee, with the appointed coach being granted an influence of three votes and the four members of the committee being granted one vote each. This particular survival procedure continued until July 1979, where it was decided to award the sole responsibility of all manager-related areas to the director himself, with the assignment of Sepp Piontek as the first full-time professional director of the national team. [ 73 ] The box below, list all assigned football managers for the national team, since the first official game in October 1908.

The DBU expected to return awarding new Hall of Fame members again, when the future circulate Football Award event is organized in February 2016. [ 80 ]
