Denmark at the FIFA World Cup
Denmark national team will make the sixth appearance in the World Cup group stage. The first time that the Denmark squad made it to the FIFA World Cup was in 1986 when they managed to qualify to the knockout stage but failed to progress to the quarter-finals when they lost 5-1 to Spain. After that, the Denmark football team did not manage to qualify for the next two World Cups, however, they did make a great return to the 1998 edition in France when they reached a quarter-final only to lose out 3-2 against Brazil.
In the FIFA World Ranking, the Denmark national football team is ranked 11th.
Denmark’s successes and failures at the previous FIFA World Cup
The best performance in a World Cup for the Denmark football team will surely be the performance in the 1998 edition.
In the group stage, they had to face off against the hosts France, South Africa and Saudi Arabia. The Denmark squad managed to beat Saudi Arabia 1-0 and after drew 1-1 against South Africa which sealed their faith in the round of 16 stages. In the round of 16, the Denmark national football team managed to register one of their biggest victories in a World Cup as they beat Nigeria 4-1, goals coming from Moller, Laudrup, Sand and Helveg.
One of the disappointing features in a World Cup for the Denmark national team will surely be the one in 2010 in South Africa. The opening game was against the Netherlands where the Denmark team lost 2-0 but managed to bounce back against Cameroon when they won 2-1. On the final day, Denmark players fell short of what was asked of them and lost 3-1 to Japan, seeing them get knocked out in the Group Stages.
Denmark’s road to the Qatar 2022 World Cup
Denmark National team almost completed a perfect round of fixtures in the World Cup qualifiers winning nine of the 10 fixtures played. The Denmark national football team players managed to score an incredible 30 goal haul conceding only three. Performances like these would raise the expectations of the Denmark national team.
The only game in which they lost came on the final day against second-placed Scotland who beat Denmark 2-0.

Denmark squad for the World Cup in Qatar
The Denmark national football team players are comprised with great talent across the board with most of the players competing in the top European clubs.
Christian Eriksen has recovered well and is still able to play for his national team if needed as he has proved during the 2021/22 season playing with Brentford. Simon Kjaer will surely play a huge role as he returns back to fitness after a long term injury. Kasper Schmeichel, Christensen and Mikkel Damsgaard will give a great challenge to whomever this Denmark national team come up against.
Despite the proven talent that this squad possess, it’s the events that they have lived through together in the Christian Eriksen incident that brings them more together than any other team. The Denmark national team will be led by coach Kasper Hjulmand.
