Denmark — last major trophy
Time since last trophy
Denmark beat Germany 2-0 after replacing the excluded Yugoslavia ten days before the tournament began. It remains their only major trophy.
Denmark's UEFA Euro 1992 win is one of the competition's great underdog stories. After finishing second in their qualifying group, Denmark replaced the excluded Yugoslavia ten days before the tournament began. The familiar story that the entire team was summoned straight from holiday beaches is an exaggeration noted by UEFA. Denmark went on to beat reigning world champions Germany 2-0 in the final, through goals from John Jensen and Kim Vilfort. Vilfort missed the group match against France to visit his seriously ill daughter and returned for the semifinal and final. Euro 1992 remains Denmark's only World Cup or European Championship title.
