Meet the Stunning FIFA World Cup Fans Putting the ‘Beautiful’ in “Beautiful Game”

Denmark

Sitting below Iceland but connected by land to the European continent, the Scandinavian nation of Denmark also has a strong soccer tradition. They qualified for six editions of the FIFA World Cup, including the 2018 tournament and the 2022 Qatar competition. Reaching the quarter-finals in 1998 was their best result yet.

However, Denmark has a much better record at the UEFA European Championship, a tournament between European nations only. They reached the semi-finals on two occasions and were historically crowned champions in 1992 after almost failing to qualify! Their most capped player is the former goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel, the father of their current keeper Kasper Schmeichel.
