Manager: Morten Olsen
Star Players: Martin Laursen, Jesper Grønkjær, Dennis Rommedahl
Honours: 1992 European Championship
Qualification: Winners, Group 2

Morten Olsen did brilliantly to steer his side through what was the toughest of the ten qualifying groups, pipping Norway, Romania and Bosnia in a titanic four-horse race in Group 9.

A bizarre 5-2 away win against Romania saw the 1992 champions take control and they held their nerve to come through on top.

After the return match against the Romanians finished 2-2, Denmark only needed a draw in Bosnia-Herzegovina to book their place in Portugal.

Martin Jørgensen’s goal in a 1-1 draw was enough and the Danes qualified for their sixth consecutive European Championship.
