Denmark national beach soccer team
Denmark national beach soccer team represents Denmark in international beach soccer competitions, but however is not controlled by the Danish Football Association (DFA), the governing body for football in Denmark. The DFA have decided to wait before being affiliated with an official national beach soccer team.[1] However the team is recognised by the sport's governing body, Beach Soccer Worldwide (BSWW) and competes as Denmark's representative team in BSWW and FIFA sanctioned tournaments.[2]

Denmark made an early entrance onto the international beach soccer scene by competing in the 1996 World Championship, finishing 6th out of 8 teams. However a Danish team did not return to internationals for 17 years until 2013 to compete in a BSWW Tour event in Sweden. In 2016, Denmark committed a team to multiple events in the beach soccer calendar for the first time, debuting in both the Euro Beach Soccer League and World Cup qualifiers.
