In 1992, Denmark wasn't even supposed to be at the European Championship. Another team had been invited, but they had to drop out at the last minute, and Denmark was picked to take their place with only ten days' notice. The Danish players had to come back from their summer holidays to play. Nobody expected them to do well.
What happened next is one of the great stories in football. Denmark won match after match. In the final, they beat the favourites, Germany, 2-0. The whole country went wild. Cars honked horns all night. People danced in the streets. The team came home as heroes. Danes still talk about 'the summer of '92'.
Today, Denmark plays in red shirts with a white cross - the colours of the Danish flag. The national team is nicknamed 'Danish Dynamite'. The most famous Danish player today is Christian Eriksen, a midfielder who plays for big clubs in England and Italy.
Football is also a big part of school life. Many Danish children play after school in a local club called a 'boldklub'. Boys and girls play together when they are young, and almost every town has a girls' team. The Danish women's national team has played in Euro finals too.
