Denmark is at risk of losing one of its two Champions League qualification spots next season unless the Danish teams can pull off a few improbable runs in Europe this season. The country currently sits 19th in the European Club Coefficient Rankings and is far from reaching the top-15 placement required to maintain two CL spots. Norway, the Czech Republic, Switzerland and Ukraine are all miles ahead of the Danes, and it looks unlikely that they will be caught for two key reasons.

Denmark also has three, but they received little luck during the draws and all landed in tough groups. FC Copenhagen – Denmark’s flagship in Europe for years now – most likely won’t scrape many points together against the likes of Manchester City, Dortmund and Sevilla in the Champions League. FC Midtjylland won’t get much out of the Europa League either. Lazio and Feyenoord are formidable foes, although there is potential to take a few points from Austrian outfit Sturm Graz. Finally, Silkeborg probably won’t get much out of their Conference League group, which includes West Ham, Anderlecht and Steaua Bucharest. Some points may come against the Romanians, but it’s slim pickings at best.

If Denmark fails to make up the lost ground in the coefficient rankings, they will lose a CL spot and go from having five teams in Europe to four. So they will go from having two CL, one EL and two CNL places to having one CL and three CNL places. In other words, there’s a lot at stake for Danish football in Europe this season. Viktor Axelsen cemented his position as the world’s best men’s singles badminton player by winning the World Championships in Tokyo on August 28. Axelsen didn’t drop a single set on his way to the final, where he beat Kunlavut Vitidsarn from Thailand 21-5, 21-16. He becomes the first Dane to win the world championships twice in singles, having also won in 2017. He has now won 37 matches in a row. Denmark’s Nation’s League game against France in Copenhagen on September 25 sold out in record time. According to the DBU football association, all the tickets were snapped up within three hours. Denmark could win their group by beating France. Palle, who was 88, managed a long line of Danish boxing greats over the course of this 65-year career, including Mikkel Kessler, Jimmi Bredahl, Gert Bo Jacobsen and Brian Nielsen. Hjalte Froholdt has another shot at playing time in the NFL after he made the final 53-man squad for the Cleveland Browns this week. The 26-year-old was drafted in 2019 by the New England Patriots and became the first Dane to play in the NFL since Morten Andersen. The Danish 1,000m record for women has been broken for the first time in over 30 years. Gitte Karlshøj had held the record since 1990 with a time of two minutes, 43 seconds. But on August 28, Stina Troest, 28, smashed the mark by almost two seconds during a race in Belgium. Leading 2-1 and needing just a draw to progress to the knock-out stage, the Germans scored two goals in the final five minutes, including a winner with just one second left.
