The FIFA World Cup, occasionally called the Football World Cup, but usually referred to simply as the World Cup, is an international Association football Despite the country's ability to produce outstanding footballing talent, a bronze medal in the 1948 Olympics was the only result of note in 50 years.

1992 European Champions

Denmark's finest hour in the international competitions came in the Euro 1992. The 1992 UEFA European Football Championship final tournament was hosted by Sweden. The Danes initially failed to qualify, as they trailed Yugoslavia in their qualifying group. The Yugoslavia national football team refers to the national football team that represented the Kingdom of Yugoslavia (1920-1941 and the Socialist Federal Republic Michael Laudrup, the star of the team, decided to quit the national team during the qualification matches, following tactical differences with coach Richard Møller Nielsen. However, due to international sanctions resulting from the Yugoslav wars, Yugoslavia was barred from the tournament, and Denmark entered as the second-placed team in its group. The Yugoslav Wars were a series of violent conflicts in the territory of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY that took place between 1991 and Contrary to popular belief^[2] the team did not rally home from seaside vacations to compete, as the majority of players were already assembled to play a friendly match with the CIS when Denmark officially got the spot at the tournament. The USSR national football team was the national football team of the Soviet Union. ^[4]

Relying heavily on goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel and his defense, as well as creative spark Brian Laudrup, the Danish team created one of the biggest surprises in the event's history, as they went on to win the European Championship trophy under coach Møller Nielsen's defensive playing style. Peter Bolesław Schmeichel MBE (born 18 November 1963 in Gladsaxe, Denmark) is a retired Danish professional footballer Brian Laudrup (born February 22, 1969 in Vienna, Austria) is a Danish former professional football player who won Advancing from the group stage ahead of England and France, Denmark beat the Dutch defending Euro 1988 champions on penalties in the semi-final, and with the 2-0 win against reigning 1990 FIFA World Cup champions Germany in the final, Denmark had won its first trophy.

The 1996 UEFA European Football Championship ( Euro 96) was hosted by England. As controversy had occurred over the prolonging of Richard Møller Nielsen's contract in fall 1995, including a strained relationship with the press, he was let go. The new coach was the sympathetic Swede Bo "Bosse" Johansson, who gave the team a more offensive strategy, and the 1998 FIFA World Cup saw the revival of the Danish team, starring both Laudrup brothers in their last international campaign.

The Olsen Gang

The new coach turned out to be the former national team captain from the successful team of the 1980s, Morten Olsen, and the team was quickly dubbed the "Olsen Gang", a reference to the series of Danish movies based around the main character Egon Olsen and his genius (criminal) plans. Morten Per Olsen (born August 14 1949) is a Danish former Football (soccer player and current football manager The Olsen Gang ( Danish: Olsen-banden, Norwegian: Olsenbanden, Swedish: Jönssonligan, German: The nickname was also used for the Danish team when Olsen captained it. Under Olsen, who brought with him great experience from among others Ajax Amsterdam, Denmark's tactics shifted to an even more attacking style, with an emphasis on the speedy wingers available to him at the time, namely Jesper Grønkjær and Dennis Rommedahl, and Olsen stressed the importance of only using fit and on-form players in the team - a principle that he's later been forced to go back on somewhat, as the player material available in such a relatively small nation doesn't always provide many realistic options.

Denmark qualified both for the 2002 FIFA World Cup and the Euro 2004, but despite impressive results in the group stage in both tournaments, especially the 2-0 win against reigning World Cup winners France in 2002, Denmark were defeated in the first post-group stage round in both tournaments. The 2002 FIFA World Cup, the 17th staging of the World Cup, was held in South Korea and Japan from May 31 to June 30.

Olsen's reign of the Danish national team has been the most successful in the time of professional coaches. As of March 2006, Morten Olsen has a winning share of 58,7%, and with three points for a victory and one for a draw, Olsen has an average of 2,03 points per game. ^[5] In comparison, Richard Møller Nielsen had a 54,8% winning share and a 1,89 point average,^[6] and especially Olsen's attitude of taking every friendly match seriously has led to many good results, one notable example being a friendly 4-1 win over England in 2005, the worst loss for the English team since 1980 and a repetition of the impressive Danish 3-2 win on English ground at Old Trafford in 2003.

After failing to qualify for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, coach Olsen considered leaving the job, having received several offers from club teams, but decided to stay and extended his contract until after the 2010 FIFA World Cup, spurred on by his and the team's popularity among the Danish population.

Brøndby Stadium (Brøndby Stadion is the homeground of football club Brøndby IF, situated in the Greater Copenhagen area However, this match only attracted 13,186 spectators (in a 26,000 capacity stadium) and was deemed a relative failure. The reasons are thought to be a combination of the poor, rainy weather, and the fact that this stadium is located on the outskirts of Copenhagen, and as such does not attract a new demographic, as the travel distances and times to Parken are not much greater, if not lesser, for most of the population.

Due to the incident on 2nd June, 2007 against Sweden, Denmark will be forced to play two of their final four European Championship home qualifiers at least 140km from Copenhagen. Those matches will instead be played at Atletion in Aarhus, along with a friendly match against Ireland.
