Who is Denmark coach?
Kasper Hjulmand has experienced mixed fortunes since taking over as Denmark coach in 2020. The former defender earned big plaudits after guiding his nation to the semi-finals of EURO 2020, but his side then finished bottom of their 2022 World Cup group after failing to win any of their three games. But after a comfortable qualification campaign, Hjulmand will be confident of guiding his side deep into the knockout stages again at this EURO finals.
Denmark key player: Pierre-Emile Højbjerg
Other players may catch the eye more than Højbjerg, but a good performance from the 28-year-old midfielder tends to be central to Danish success. The Tottenham man binds together defence and midfield, always stepping up when he pulls on the red shirt. When Højbjerg is at his best, he lifts the whole team.
Denmark one to watch: Rasmus Højlund
Højlund has been Hjulmand's go-to man for goals, scoring seven in qualifying – including a hat-trick on his first Denmark start against Finland in March 2023. In his first season at Man United, the 21-year-old became the youngest player to score in six consecutive Premier League games.

Group H winners: P10 W7 D1 L2 F19 A10
Denmark recovered from a surprise early reverse in Kazakhstan to reach consecutive EURO finals for the first time since 2004. Hjulmand's experienced squad reached the last four at EURO 2020, their best showing at any finals since they famously won the competition in 1992.
