Denmark's national football team failed to qualify for the 2026 World Cup, marking their first absence from a major tournament since Euro 2016. Their hopes ended in Prague with a loss to the Czech Republic. The defeat highlighted the aging squad and lack of leadership, making it challenging for coach Brian Riemer to rebuild without Christian Eriksen's influence.
Former star player Mikkel Beckmann called the campaign 'one of the biggest debacles' in Danish football.
With several key players retiring or nearing the end of their careers, the focus shifts to developing new talent and strategies.
