Denmark will be looking to pull off another surprise after winning the tournament in 1992. But who is in their Euro 2024 squad?
Denmark will be looking to make the best of having qualified in back-to-back European Championships for the first time in 20 years.
The Danes reached the semi-finals in Euro 2020 and will be looking for an improved performance after a group-stage exit at the 2022 World Cup under head coach Kasper Hjulmand.
Denmark qualified by topping Group H in the qualifiers – to be joined by Slovenia, Serbia and England in the final tournament.

GOALKEEPERS
The uncapped Andreas Hansen had momentarily replaced Kasper Schmeichel in the squad, but the latter has made the final list.
With Frederik Ronnow as the second-choice goalkeeper, Mads Hermansen's international debut at the Euros would appear promising as the Leicester City man has been starting on the bench during most of the qualifiers.

DEFENDERS
Hjulmand has made constant variations to his backline, with each of the defenders getting game-time during their qualification campaign.
The likes of Simon Kjaer, Joakim Maehle, Joachim Anderson and Victor Kristiansen featured with the most starts, and it is likely to remain like that.
Barcelona's Andres Christensen and Benfica's Alexander Bah have been passed fit, and their inclusion comes at the cost of Jacob Rasmussen and Mads Roeslev.

MIDFIELDERS
The midfield is set to revolve around Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg.
Christian Eriksen was among those to pull out from the squad ahead of the qualification games in November last year but returned to the squad despite falling behind in the midfielder pecking order at Manchester United.
The likes of Mathias Jensen, Morten Hjulmand and Thomas Delaney made the cut, while Matt O'Riley and Lazio's Gustav Isaksen were omitted.

FORWARDS
Manchester United's Rasmus Hojlund managed to silence critics after his slow start in the Premier League, with VfL Wolfsburg forward Jonas Wind also included in the end.
Similarly, Anders Dreyer's stellar performances in the Belgian Pro League have earned the Anderlecht man another call-up to the national team alongside club team-mate Kasper Dolberg.
Yussuf Poulsen and Jacob Brunn Larsen complete the attacking options at Hjulmand's disposal, while Reims' Mohamed Daramy pulled out injured.
