The Danish national team will be represented in the UEFA Nations League not by football stars like Christian Eriksen, but by Victor Hansen, who plays in the fifth league of his country until a few days ago unknown.
All this fuss in Denmark happened because the main players of the national team collectively decided to boycott the country's football federation. The reason for all this is the footballers' unwillingness to advertise the federation's commercial partners that do not match their personal contracts with companies like Adidas or Nike.
The players sought compensation for having to advertise the federation's promotional signs, but the country's football authorities were not willing to give in to the players.
C. Eriksen said on Tuesday that if the country's federation extended the agreement on compensation, all players would sit on a plane that same evening and arrive at the team camp, but as it turned out today, the agreement did not take place.
As a result, both sides have been in conflict since the 2018 World Cup. It was hoped that these disagreements would be resolved during the summer, but the problems remained, and the current Danish national team was left without any professional footballers.
The Danish national team will play friendly matches against Slovakia this evening and make their debut in the Nations League against Wales on Sunday, represented by Gareth Bale.
The team was left by coach Age Hareide for an indefinite period. The coach of the Slovak national team poured scorn at a press conference that they will have to play a match in which Denmark will be represented by players from the third, fourth, and even fifth division of the country.
