Denmark made their first debut in the World Cup in the 1986, and with the forward duo of Michael Laudrup and Preben Elkjær the team shocked the world, sweeping the pahse, including a 6-1 battering of Uruguay. In the second phase Denmark once again faced Spain, and once more Denmark lost. The team received a trashing of their own, suffering a 5-1 defeat, including four goals by Emilio Butragueño.

After the glory days of 1986 came an era of transition with poor results. The Euro 1988 tournament ended in early elimination as Denmark lost the group matches to Spain, Germany, and Italy. Denmark failed to qualify for the 1990 FIFA World Cup finals.

Denmark's finest period in the international tournaments came in the Euro 92. The Danes initially failed to qualify, as they finished behind Yugoslavia in their qualifying section. Michael Laudrup, the star of the team, decided to leave the national team during the qualification games, following tactical differences with coach Richard Møller Nielsen. However, due to international sanctions resulting from the Yugoslav wars, Yugoslavia was barred from the tournament, and Denmark entered as the second-placed team in its group. The Danes were breathtabking in the competition, after drawing 0-0 against England in the oppening match, despit domianting the game, they suffered defeat to hosts Sweden and then beat France. They beat Germany 2-0 in the final.
