Denmark national football team results (unofficial matches)


This is a list of the Denmark national football team results results from 1896 to the present day that, for various reasons, are not accorded the status of official internationals and are not being recognized by FIFA.[1] Denmark played several unofficial matches against British clubs, and did it under several different names such as Danish Football Union, Denmark XI, or Select Denmark.[2]

Select Copenhagen XI was a football team that represented the city of Copenhagen. Notably, it played five matches against Liverpool F.C. in 1910, 1914, and 1932, registering a win, a draw, and three losses.[3]
