Landshold

Landshold is a Danish term used to refer to a national team in sports. The word literally translates to "land team" or "country team". It is most commonly associated with football (soccer), where the Danish men's national football team is known as the "Herrelandsholdet" and the women's national football team is called the "Kvindelandsholdet". However, the term can be applied to national teams in various other sports, including handball, ice hockey, and gymnastics, among others.

These national teams represent Denmark in international competitions such as the FIFA World Cup, UEFA European Championship, Olympic Games, and World Championships. Players are selected from domestic leagues and, in many cases, from Danish players competing abroad. The success and popularity of a "landshold" can significantly impact national pride and sporting culture within Denmark. The term emphasizes the collective representation of the nation rather than individual clubs. The Danish national teams often have dedicated fan bases and generate considerable media attention during major tournaments.
