Bellamy eyes more history against wounded Denmark

BBC Sport · 2 hours ago

Craig Bellamy's Wales face Denmark in a Nations League A encounter on Sunday in Copenhagen, with both sides desperate for victory. Wales arrive following a 1-0 defeat to Portugal and remain winless in their five matches of 2026, putting their top-tier status in jeopardy. Denmark similarly lost their opening Nations League match 3-2 to Norway, leaving both teams in urgent need of positive results.

Bellamy, now Wales manager, possesses an encouraging personal history against Denmark from his playing career. He scored an 87th-minute winner in Euro 2000 qualifying in 1998, his first competitive international goal, and added another winning goal in a friendly fixture in 2008. Both sides face prolonged winless streaks—Wales have not won since November 2025 against North Macedonia, whilst Denmark's last victory came in March during World Cup play-off qualifying. Neither nation qualified for this year's World Cup, and both coaches have framed Sunday's fixture as essential to their campaign objectives.

  • Wales and Denmark battle to end long winless streaks in Nations League A fixture.
  • Bellamy previously scored twice against Denmark, including crucial Euro 2000 qualifying goal.
  • Both nations seek victory to preserve Nations League A status and momentum.
