Last World Cup

There’s a reason why Denmark is No.20 in the October 2025 FIFA rankings.

The Danish Dynamites are no strangers to the World Cup, playing in six editions, including the last two tournaments (2018 and 2022).

Since its first World Cup stint in 1986, Denmark has been a constant presence, and it aims to fulfill its mission of a third-straight appearance.

Greece, on the other hand, has been in the World Cup tournaments, including a Round-of-16 stint in 2014.

However, the No.40-ranked Ethniki failed to qualify in the last two editions.

Rasmus Hojlund leads Denmark with three goals in the team's last three matches.
