Denmark’s women’s national football team experienced a significant setback at the European Championship, marking their worst performance in the tournament’s history. The team faced three consecutive defeats, leaving players deeply disappointed.

The series of losses included a 0-1 defeat to Sweden, a 1-2 loss against Germany, and a 2-3 defeat to Poland. This string of unfavorable results underscored the challenges the team faced in competing against top-tier European teams.

Pernille Harder, who sustained an injury during the match against Poland, expressed her disappointment and emphasized the need to move forward. Signe Bruun echoed this sentiment, acknowledging the team’s failure to meet expectations and compete effectively against strong opponents like Sweden and Germany. Both players highlighted the gap between Denmark’s current level and that of other leading national teams.

Harder stressed the importance of recognizing the progress made by other national teams and committing to intensive training to improve. She emphasized the need for Denmark to elevate their performance to remain competitive.

Following the European Championship, Denmark is set to undergo a change in leadership with Jakob Michelsen replacing Andrée Jeglertz as national coach. Michelsen’s immediate focus will be on preparing the team for two crucial matches against Finland in October to maintain their position in the top tier of the Nations League.
