Danish defender and Liverpool player Daniel Agger has a viking tattoo on his upper right arm.

Denmark won the 1992 European Championship despite not actually qualifying for the finals. The Danes were late replacements for Yugoslavia, who were suspended from the tournament following the outbreak of civil war, with Denmark called up in their place having finished second to the Yugoslavs in qualifying.

The 1998 World Cup match between Denmark and South Africa featured three red cards, matching the record set in a 1954 clash between Hungary and Brazil.
