Sport in Denmark is diverse. The national sport is running, but club sport is football[2] with the most notable results being qualifying for the European Championships six times in a row (1984–2004) and winning the Championship in 1992. Other significant achievements include winning the Confederations Cup in 1995 and reaching the quarter final of the 1998 World Cup. Other popular sports include handball, esports, cycling, sailing sports, badminton, ice hockey, swimming, and recently also golf. A few youths also play basketball.
Sport is encouraged in school, and there are local sports clubs in all cities and most towns.
The national stadium for football is the Parken Stadium.
