List of Denmark national football team hat-tricks

This page is a list of the hat-tricks scored for the Denmark national football team.[1] Since Denmark's first international football match in 1908, there have been 56 occasions when a Danish player has scored three or more goals (a hat-trick) in a game. The first hat-trick was scored by Vilhelm Wolfhagen against France B in the team's first-ever game on 19 October 1908. Poul Nielsen holds the record for the most hat-tricks scored by a Danish player with eight, five of which came against Norway. The record for the most goals scored in an international game by a Danish player is ten, which has been achieved on just one occasion: by Sophus Nielsen against France in the 1908 Summer Olympics semi-finals of the 1908 Summer Olympics,[2] which was also a world record until it was broken by Archie Thompson broke it when he scored 13 goals in a 31–0 victory over American Samoa in 2001.[3]
