• Pernille Harder, the newly-crowned Women’s Super League and Women’s FA Cup winner with Chelsea will lead Denmark in England.

• The 29-year-old forward, who won the 2017/18 UEFA Women’s Player of the Year award, is not only the biggest star in the team, she is also a great role model on and off the pitch.

• The only two-time UEFA Women’s Player of the Year, in 2018 and 2020, Harder scored a hat-trick on her senior Denmark debut, aged 16, in 2009 and has not looked back, racking up superb performances for her country and club titles wherever she has played. The supreme all-round attacker became Denmark’s top scorer last September when she reached 66 goals.

• LeneChristensen had been a success for Denmark at youth level when, aged 20, the then KoldingQ goalkeeper was handed a senior debut in their December 2020 EURO qualifier with Italy and excelled in a 0-0 draw that ensured first place in the group.

• Since then she has established herself as her country’s No1, and was snapped up by Rosenborg at the end of 2021.

• Sofie Svavahas joined Real Madrid from Wolfsburg in the last winter. The 22-year-old lef back has shown great defensive ability in her games.

• With techniques and skills that she paid hard work to, she could be the key part of Denmark on the defensive end.

• With ample coaching experience in men’s club football in both his native Denmark and Austria, 63-year-old Lars Søndergaard was named coach at the end of 2017, taking over from Nils Nielsen.

• Hired to rebuild the Nationalmannschaft in 2018, Voss-Tecklenburg had been in charge of Switzerland for six years, leading them to their first World Cup finals. She has said that a semi-final appearance should be Germany’s minimum goal for UEFA Women’s EURO 2022.

Pedigree

• Winning unofficial European and world titles in the 1970s, Denmark were one of the early adopters of women’s football,

• They also made the first EURO semis in 1984, the inaugural World Cup last eight in 1991 and also competed at the initial Olympic tournament of 1996.

• They have not appeared in the World Cup since 2007 but have consistently featured at EURO, making the semis for the fifth time in 2013 and reaching a first final four years later, when they were pipped in an exciting decider by hosts Netherlands.
