Denmark's home ground is Parken Stadium in Østerbro and their head coach is Morten Olsen.
The team won two Olympic silver medals in 1908 and 1912; and was ranked as nr.1 in the world most of the time from April 1914 until April 1920. In the years from 1921–1930, the performance level dropped a bit, with the team being placed between number 3-13 at the Elo ranking. The performance of the team reached the lowest level from 1955–1983, being outside top 25 of the Elo ranking for the entire period. During this dark time, the team however still managed to shortly blossom at two times, with a silver medal in the 1960 Olympics and a 4th place in the 1964 European Championships. Since 1983, the team has continuously been visible as a solidly competitive side, with the triumph in the 1992 European Championships tournament as its most prominent victory, beating the European champions from Netherlands in the semifinal, and the World champions from Germany in the final. They also managed to win the 1995 Confederations Cup, defeating Argentina in the final. Their best FIFA World Cup result was achieved in 1998, where they narrowly lost a well played quarter-final against Brazil. |
