Denmark national football team has finally revealed their 21-member squad that will take the flight to Qatar for the FIFA World Cup and fans are absolutely delighted with the decisions and the selections made by the manager Kasper Hjulmand. With Simon Kjaer, Kasper Schmeichel and Christian Eriksen elected for the captaincy duties, this team looks absolutely set for going all the way to the grand prize.

Denmark has been in absolutely fine form for the last couple of years making it to the semis at the Euro Cup and also beating France in their Nations League group to advance to the next round. There are still 5 places left and the coach is still thinking about whom to travel with on their way to Qatar with about 11-12 players still in contention.

Denmark is clearly going to be the dark horse of this year’s tournament and will like to repeat what they did in the Euro Cup in 2021. With players such as Cornelius and Dolberg leading the attack and playmakers like Hojbjerg, Delaney, and Eriksen in the side, Hjulmand will look to make the most of his resources and find the results.
