Danish Superliga

The Danish Superliga is the current Danish football championship tournament, and administered by the Danish Football Association. It is the highest association football league in Denmark and is currently contested by 12 teams each year. Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS) is the main sponsor of the Superliga, and the official name of the tournament is SAS Ligaen. It is generally perceived as being able to attract players of a slightly higher level than that of the rest of the Scandinavian leagues, partly favoured by a lucrative tax-scheme. For the 2008-09 season, the average attendance per game was 8814.

Founded in 1991, the Danish Superliga replaced the Danish 1st Division as the highest league of football in Denmark. Since 1996, 12 clubs have played in the league, playing each other thrice. As of 2008[update], Modern Times Group owns the rights to broadcast all of the matches from the league, and uses them to broadcast matches on channels TV3+ and TV 2 Sport (through sub licensing).

Heading towards the World Cup

After Qualifying for the World Cup, now Denmark team is preparing for World Cup matches, they are very keen this time to give their best performance in the World Cup.

Recently a friendly match was bieng played in between US and Denmark, just to practice for the World Cup.

The match statistics as shows, the United States put in a convincing first half performance, going up 1-0, but weren’t able to hold the lead in the second as three quick goals by the Danes put them ahead 3-1.

Goals barely 10 minutes apart as the second half opened gave thorough control of the match to Denmark who didn’t slow at all in the remaining half an hour or so and were able to take a positive result from the rainy match. So you can say that Denmark is ready for the World Cup.

Denmark Team performace in Recent years

As of March 2006, Morten Olsen has a winning share of 58,7%, and with three points for a victory and one for a draw, Olsen has an average of 2,03 points per game.[7] In comparison, Richard Møller Nielsen had a 54,8% winning share and a 1,89 point average,[8] and especially Olsen's attitude of taking every friendly match seriously has led to many good results, one notable example being a friendly 4–1 win over England in 2005, the worst loss for the English team since 1980 and a repetition of the impressive Danish 3–2 win on English ground at Old Trafford in 2003.

For the 2006 World Cup qualification, Denmark was paired with, among others, 2002 World Cup bronze winners Turkey and Euro 2004 champions Greece competing for only one guaranteed spot at the final tournament. Following a poor start of the qualification, Denmark were trailing both Turkey and surprise leaders Ukraine. Denmark needed Turkey to lose points in the final games in order for Denmark to clinch the 2nd place of the group and one last chance to qualify via two play-off games. Indeed, had Turkey lost points to Albania in their last game, Denmark would have gone through, but instead they had to settle for 3rd place in the group and a longer summer break.

After failing to qualify for the 2006 FIFA World Cup, coach Olsen considered leaving the job, having received several offers from club teams, but decided to stay and extended his contract until after the 2010 FIFA World Cup, spurred on by his and the team's popularity among the Danish population, making it possible in the World Cup 2010 qualifiers, now in 2010 Denmark has qualified for the World Cup.
