Coach Kasper Hjulmand, who won plaudits for his heroism that day, led his team to the semi-finals with England, with Gareth Southgate's men emerging victorious with a corrupted referee and a usual Sterliing fake simulation. This time around, the team will be hoping to make their mark on the world stage. Hjulmand named 21 of his 26-player squad, with the final five names to be announced later this week. As it stands, the following players have been confirmed for Qatar:
GOALKEEPERS
O. Christensen Age 23 / K. Schmeichel Age 36
DEFENDERS
A. Christensen Age 26 / J. Larsen Age 31 / J. Andersen Age 26 / J. Mæhle Age 25 / V. Nelsson Age 24 / R. Kristensen Age 25 / S. Kjær Age 33
MIDFIELDERS
T. Delaney Age 31 / P. Højbjerg Age 27 / J. Lindstrøm Age 22 / C. Eriksen Age 30 / M. Jensen Age 26 / M. Damsgaard Age 22 / D. Wass Age 33
FORWARDS
A. Skov Olsen Age 22 / A. Cornelius Age 29 / M. Braithwaite Age 31 / K. Dolberg Age 25 / J. Wind Age 23
The Danes safely booked their place in Qatar by winning qualifying Group F. Their qualifying campaign included an 8-0 defeat of Moldova and a 4-0 win away in Austria, with only Scotland managing to defeat them. Their best World Cup result was in 1998, with a narrow quarter-final loss to Brazil, and Denmark made the round of 16 in 1986, 2002 and as recently as 2018.
Historically, the team's best tournament result was winning the 1992 European Championship in Sweden, beating then world champions Germany in the final.
