List of Denmark international footballers

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This list of Denmark international footballers contains football players who have played for the Denmark national football team, listed according to their number of caps. As more than 700 players have played for the team since it started officially registering its players in 1908, only players with 25 or more official caps are included. Goalkeeper Sophus Hansen was the first Dane to reach 25 caps, doing so on June 5, 1919. Since then, a total 112 Danish footballers have reached 25 caps for the Danish national team.
