Denmark National Football Team

The Denmark national football team is controlled by the Danish Football Association and has represented the country of Denmark in international football competitions since 1908. The team has been a solidly competitive side in international football since the mid-1980s, with the triumph in the 1992 European Championships (Euro 1992) tournament as its most prominent victory. They also won the Confederations Cup in 1995 defeating Argentina 2-0 in the final match.

In the qualification to Euro 2008, Denmark was placed in Group F with Liechtenstein, Northern Ireland, Iceland, Latvia, Spain and archrivals Sweden. Only Spain and Sweden qualified from the group. This is the first Euro Cup since 1980 without Danish participation (Denmark participated in 1992 without having qualified, due to the banning of Yugoslavia).
