Previous Euro Appearances: 10

Best Finish: Runners-up (1991, 2017)

Group: Denmark is in Group C along with Germany, Poland and Sweden.

What Stands Out: Perhaps the best team never to claim the European crown (though they did win the unofficial continental title in 1979), the Danes were the losing finalists in 2017 and have advanced as far as the semis on five occasions since the inaugural competition in 1984.

Top Players To Watch: Pernille Harder. Harder became the most expensive women’s player ever in 2020, when Chelsea acquired her contract from German club Wolfsburg for around $350,000. While that record was broken two years later, Harder has been Denmark’s all-time leading scorer since 2021. The 32-year-old heads into Euro 2025 with 78 goals in 162 games for her country.

Keep An Eye On: Signe Bruun. She’s no rookie; at 27, she starred in 2023 World Cup qualifying and made the Red & White’s roster for the main event in Australia and New Zealand. But while Harder is the star, Bruun is coach Andrée Jeglertz’s most lethal striker. The Real Madrid forward has 24 goals in just 52 caps.  

This Euro Will Be A Success If: Denmark reaches the knockout phase. That’s the bare minimum. Though they did reach the round of 16 at the World Cup two summers ago, the Danes lost two of their three group games at the last Euro and failed to advance to the business end of the tourney.
