The Danish national football team is eagerly anticipating Euro-2024. In the previous UEFA European Championship in 2020, the Danes reached the semi-finals, displaying their best performance since their triumphant victory in Euro-1992. It was during that tournament that the team claimed the championship title for the first and only time in history. In Euro-2020, Denmark defeated Wales and the Czech Republic in the playoffs but lost to the English national team in the semi-finals at the legendary Wembley Stadium. Harry Kane’s goal in extra time broke the hearts of Danish fans after Mikkel Damsgaard had put their team ahead in the first half. Now, the Danish national team has a new goal – to achieve glory at Euro-2024 in Germany.
Rasmus Hojland, the player from Manchester United and the top scorer for Denmark in the qualifying tournament, has high hopes of leading his team to success once again on the grand football stage. Under the guidance of coach Kasper Hjulmand, the Danes aim to relive their glorious past and reclaim the championship title they won 31 years ago.

In Euro-2024, Denmark finds itself in a challenging Group C, facing strong European teams. Alongside the Danes, the group includes teams with rich football history and serious ambitions – England, Serbia, and Slovenia. England is undoubtedly the favorite in the group. The current vice-European champions, led by Harry Kane and Harry Maguire, will strive to break their winning tradition and secure their first major international trophy since 1966. Denmark faces a tough competition against the English.
Serbia also poses a formidable challenge. The Balkan team is considered a strong mid-tier in European football and is always capable of surprising. Their significant team unity and discipline have always been their strengths. Slovenia, perhaps, is the weakest participant in Group C. However, underestimating this determined team, which has demonstrated its ability to achieve results against stronger opponents, would be a mistake.
The main goal for the Danish national team is to compete for the top two spots in the group against England and Serbia. The competition with these formidable teams will allow the Danes to test their strength and maximize their potential. Whether they can advance through this challenging group stage will be revealed during the Euro-2024 matches.
The emergence of the young talent Rasmus Hojland played a significant role in helping Denmark overcome the bitter disappointment after the unsuccessful performance at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Widely touted as the “dark horse” of the tournament, the Danes scored only one goal and earned just one point in the group stage. Thus, entering a relatively easy qualification group secured Denmark a direct ticket to Euro-2024.
Under coach Kasper Hjulmand, the team managed to overcome some dismal performances, notably a 3-2 defeat to Kazakhstan and a narrow 2-1 victory over San Marino, securing their place in the tournament with one match remaining in the qualification cycle, thanks to a deserved 2-1 victory over Slovenia. However, a painful defeat in the final group game against Northern Ireland clearly showed why no one would consider Hjulmand’s team a favorite before Euro-2024.
Although, theoretically, Denmark, at least on paper, was expected to finish second after England in their not-so-difficult Group C, where they would meet familiar opponents Slovenia and Serbia from the qualifiers. Nevertheless, the presence of forward Hojland, playing in the English Premier League, gives Denmark a chance to succeed in the upcoming European Championship.
The team has gone through a challenging path to the tournament and can boast a range of interesting facts and achievements on the eve of the competition:
The team, led by experienced coach Hjulmand, hopes to continue its glorious traditions and achieve success at the upcoming European Championship, and they have every chance to do so.
