Denmark: Women’s Euro 2022 team profile
Beaten finalists at Euro 2017, Denmark are hoping to go one better this time round.
They played out an exciting final, stunning the host nation Netherlands with an early goal before eventually succumbing 4-2. This Denmark side is arguably stronger than the squad from 2017, and clinched qualification with a win in Italy against a nation that hadn’t lost at home in more than five years.

Who is Denmark’s head coach at Euro 2022?
Lars Sondergaard manages Denmark’s women’s team, having taken over following the run to the final of Euro 2017. That may seem like a tough act to follow, but Sondergaard has built on the success of his predecessor, storming through the qualification stage by racking up almost five goals a game. He has a tendency to switch to a 4-3-3 formation during big games, with an emphasis on attack.
Who is Denmark’s captain at Euro 2022?
Pernille Harder is Denmark’s captain and one of the superstars of women’s football. She scored a hat-trick on her senior international debut, aged just 16, and has gone from strength-to-strength in the years that have followed. As well as being Denmark’s leader, she is also her country’s all-time top-scorer.
Who are Denmark’s star players to watch out for at Euro 2022?
Pernille Harder gets the goals at one end of the field, but it’s Lene Christensen who stars at the other end. Denmark’s number 1 is a brilliant shot-stopper who made her international debut at the age of just 20, helping her country to secure qualification to Euro 2022. In attack with Harder is usually Stine Larsen and Signe Bruun, with the three forwards providing a constant threat to opposition defences.
