Match Preview: What’s at stake?

Wales and Denmark enter the October 4 meeting after both losing their opening UEFA Nations League games. Wales fell 1-0 to Portugal in Lisbon, while Denmark suffered a 3-2 defeat against Norway in Oslo. After Matchday 1, Norway and Portugal sit on three points, with Denmark and Wales both still without a point in League A, Group 4.

The match is also significant because it is the second meeting between the two nations during the same international window. Denmark hosts Wales on September 27 before the teams travel to Cardiff for the return fixture on October 4. Wales returned to League A after winning promotion in the previous Nations League cycle, while Denmark is competing in the top tier for a fourth consecutive edition.

There is plenty at stake beyond the immediate group table. In the new 2026/27 format, the four League A group winners and four runners-up advance to the quarter-finals, while the two lowest-ranked fourth-place teams are relegated automatically. The two lowest-ranked third-place teams must enter League A/B playoffs.

The match kicks off on Sunday, October 4, at 2:30 PM ET. The official Welsh and Danish schedules list a 7:45 PM local kickoff in Cardiff, while Fubo lists the game at 6:30 PM UTC.

Ronaldo has been ruled out for Portugal’s Matchday 3 clash against Denmark after departing the team’s training camp, leaving serious questions behind regarding the circumstances of his sudden exit.

The superstar forward was a unused substitute in Portugal‘s Matchday 2 match against Norway. Following that match, Jesus confirmed to reporters that Ronaldo would not be in the starting XI against Denmark, triggering a swift chain of events leading to the captain’s departure.

While Jesus publicly attempted to squelch rumors of tension with Ronaldo, the veteran tactical mind remains under intense scrutiny for his handling of CR7, who was widely expected to close out his storied international career later this year.

Portugal predicted lineup vs. Denmark

With Ronaldo unavailable for the remainder of the international window, Jesus must retool his attack to maintain Portugal’s momentum in Group A. Backed by Joao Felix and Pedro Neto in the final third, here is Portugal’s projected starting XI for today’s match:

• Goalkeeper: Diogo Costa
• Defenders: Joao Cancelo, Ruben Dias, Renato Veiga, Nuno Mendes
• Midfielders: Joao Neves, Vitinha (or Joao Palhinha), Bruno Fernandes
• Forwards: Pedro Neto, Gonçalo Ramos, Joao Felix

Today marks an uncertain new chapter for Portuguese soccer. With the iconic forward officially off the roster for the rest of the break, Jesus gets his first full look at how Selecao will navigate the post-Ronaldo era.

Key takeaways

• Cristiano Ronaldo was ruled out for Portugal’s Nations League clash against Denmark.
• The superstar forward sat as an unused substitute during Matchday 2 against Norway.
• Manager Jorge Jesus must retool his attack featuring Joao Felix, Goncalo Ramos, and Pedro Neto.

Match Preview: What’s at stake?

Denmark and Portugal meet at Parken Stadium on October 1 in Matchday 3 of League A, Group 4 of the 2026/27 UEFA Nations League, with both sides entering the fixture after very different opening results.

Denmark fell 3-2 to Norway in Oslo despite recovering from a two-goal deficit, while Portugal began its title defense with a 1-0 victory over Wales through Joao Felix‘s 22nd-minute goal.

Portugal enter the competition as the defending Nations League champions, having beaten Spain on penalties in the 2025 final to become the first nation to win the tournament twice. But the biggest storyline is that Cristiano Ronaldo isn’t playing today after leaving Portugal’s camp amid tension with manager Jorge Jesus over his playing time.

What time is the Denmark vs Portugal match?

The Denmark vs Portugal match kicks off on Thursday, October 1, at 2:45 PM ET. The game is scheduled for 8:45 PM local time in Copenhagen at Parken Stadium. For viewers in different regions of the United States, here are the local start times:

• Eastern Time: 2:45 PM
• Central Time: 1:45 PM
• Mountain Time: 12:45 PM
• Pacific Time: 11:45 AM

“I’ve worked with Cris for a year. It seems as though there’s some kind of issue or problem between him and me. There is absolutely no issue,” Jorge Jesus said during his press conference. “I’ve had problems with players in the past, but don’t turn this into an issue that doesn’t exist.”

CR7’s 18-year streak came to an end after he was left unused, and the manager made it clear that the decision was purely tactical: “This was simply a technical decision by a coach who had a plan in advance.”

The meeting between Jorge Jesus, CR7, and Pedro Proença

Jorge Jesus’ decision not to give Ronaldo any playing time escalated to the point that Portuguese Football Federation president Pedro Proença met not only with the manager, but also with CR7 himself.

“As for the president, it’s completely normal for him to be here. The club president and the federation president should be with the national team,” Jorge Jesus spoke about the meeting at a hotel in Malmö, Sweden. “And because of everything that was being said in Portugal, he wanted to know what had happened, right?”

Will Cristiano Ronaldo play against Denmark?

Portugal currently sit atop Group 4 of League A in the UEFA Nations League, having won two consecutive matches. To remain the sole leaders, they will need to beat Denmark in their next match, which will also be played without Cristiano Ronaldo on the pitch.

“I told Cristiano that he would not play in either the match against Norway or the one against Denmark,” Jorge Jesus stated emphatically at a press conference. The match will be played at Parken Stadium, where a packed crowd is expected in the stands.

Key takeaways

• Jorge Jesus dismissed talk of tension after leaving Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench.
• An 18-year streak came to an end when Ronaldo was left completely unused.
• Portuguese Football Federation president Pedro Proença met with the manager and player.

In hist postgame press conference, Jesus defended his decision to keep Ronaldo as an unused substitute: “It wasn’t the right moment to bring Ronaldo into the game; it was a tactical choice. I needed a player with different characteristics, but that doesn’t mean he’s out of the options. Perhaps he’ll play against Denmark.”

Ultimately, the result proved Jesus right, as Goncalo Ramos stepped into Ronaldo‘s starting spot and scored the key goal to secure Portugal’s 2-1 victory. On top of that, Ramos even netted what would have been a third goal to make it 3-1, though it was ultimately disallowed for offside.

Ronaldo happy with the result

Despite not getting on the pitch and knowing his demanding mindset and desire for the spotlight, Ronaldo celebrated Portugal’s win over Norway with one word on social media, showing his support for his teammates.

Cristiano, who will turn 42 next February, started in Portugal‘s win against Wales on Thursday, when he played 67 minutes. However, Jesus made it clear that he didn’t consider Ronaldo fit to start two consecutive matches.

Ronaldo’s lack of minutes deprived the soccer world of a historic event. CR7 and Erling Haaland have yet to share an official pitch together. But an opportunity for that will come soon, as the rematch between Portugal and Norway will come in the reverse fixture of this same UEFA Nations League.

This could happen during this same FIFA window, with Portugal hosting Norway on October 4 for Matchday 4. But first, Portugal face Denmark on October 1, and all eyes will be on whether Ronaldo returns to the lineup.

Key takeaways

• A 2-1 victory was secured by Portugal over Norway in the Nations League.
• Goncalo Ramos scored the second goal after starting in place of Cristiano Ronaldo.
• October 1 is the scheduled date for the next match against Denmark.

Match Preview: What’s at stake?

Denmark vs Wales is Matchday 2 of UEFA Nations League League A, Group A4, with both teams beginning a demanding campaign alongside Portugal and Norway. Denmark opened the group away against Norway on September 24, while Wales started against reigning Nations League champions Portugal.

For Wales, the match is particularly significant because it marks their return to League A after winning promotion from League B in the previous Nations League edition. Craig Bellamy‘s side went unbeaten in that campaign, but now face a much tougher level of opposition, beginning with consecutive away fixtures against Portugal and Denmark. After the trip to Copenhagen, they will host Norway before facing Denmark again on October 4.

Denmark, meanwhile, are looking to build on their previous Nations League campaign, when they reached the quarter-finals before Portugal eliminated them. The Danes also have a demanding group, with Portugal entering as the defending champions and Norway joining League A after promotion. A home victory against Wales at Parken would give Denmark an important early opportunity to strengthen their position before facing Portugal on October 1.

Match Preview: What’s at stake?

Denmark vs Norway is the opening match of League A, Group A4 in the 2026/27 UEFA Nations League, with both teams beginning the six-match group stage alongside Portugal and Wales.

Norway are playing in League A for the first time after winning promotion from League B in the previous edition, while Denmark reached the quarter-finals of the 2024/25 competition before being eliminated by eventual champions Portugal.

Norway also arrive at Ullevaal Stadion with significant momentum after reaching the quarter-finals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, their best-ever finish at the tournament. Erling Haaland scored seven goals during Norway’s Nations League promotion campaign and enters this match as the competition’s all-time leading scorer with 19 goals. Martin Odegaard, meanwhile, remains captain of a team that has added several players to its squad following the World Cup.

For Denmark, the Nations League provides another opportunity to compete against Europe’s top sides after reaching the last eight in the previous edition. The Danes finished second behind Spain in their 2024/25 League A group and were then eliminated by Portugal in the quarter-finals. The opening match is particularly important because Norway’s next fixture is also at home, against Portugal on September 27, while Denmark travel to face Wales.

Denmark vs Norway: Predicted Lineups

Denmark (4-3-3): Mads Hermansen; Joakim Maehle, Patrick Dorgu, Joachim Andersen, Alexander Bah; Mads Bidstrup, Morten Hjulmand, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg; Mikkel Damsgaard, Rasmus Hojlund, Gustav Isaksen.

Norway (4-3-3): Orjan Nyland; David Wolfe, Torbjorn Heggem, Kristoffer Ajer, Julian Ryerson; Patrick Berg, Sander Berge, Martin Odegaard; Andreas Schjelderup, Erling Haaland, Antonio Nusa.

Denmark gave it everything they had during the UEFA qualifiers. Competing in Group C, they fought their way into the playoffs. But despite a commanding 4-0 blowout against North Macedonia, their journey ended in heartbreak, eliminated on penalty kicks by the Czech Republic in the playoff final.

Missing out on the 2026 edition snaps a streak of two straight World Cup appearances for Denmark (Russia in 2018 and Qatar in 2022). Their 2018 run marks their most recent deep tournament push, where they reached the Round of 16 and finished 11th overall.

Denmark’s total World Cup appearances

Denmark made their FIFA World Cup debut at Mexico 1986, putting on a show to finish 9th overall, the second-best performance in country history. Since then, the Danes have qualified for the 1998, 2002, 2010, 2018, and 2022 tournaments, bringing their dynamic brand of soccer to the world stage a total of six times.

The pinnacle of Danish World Cup history came at France 1998. Denmark electrifyingly marched all the way to the quarterfinals, finishing 8th in the tournament and racking up 9 total goals, their second-highest scoring output ever in a single World Cup.

Following the 2022 World Cup, Denmark were expected to undergo a massive roster rebuild. While that transition did get underway, it wasn’t enough to save their 2026 campaign, leaving one of Europe’s most entertaining teams on the outside looking in.

“I want to let everyone know that I am doing well and that I am home with my family. As you can probably imagine, receiving a shock from my ICD has had a major impact on both me and my family, but I want to reassure everyone that this was a different situation from what happened in 2021,” the player revealed on his official Instagram account.

In the initial assessment, Denmark’s national team doctors confirmed that Eriksen was conscious when he was immediately attended to at Odense Stadium. The Danish medical staff also confirmed that the pacemaker functioned as intended, a detail that was also mentioned by Eriksen in his statement.

“…Thanks to their expertise, my ICD did exactly what it was designed to do: protect me when I needed it. For now, my focus is on recovering, spending time with my family, going on vacation, and playing football with my children.”

Soccer World’s support for Eriksen

The post shared on his official account @chriseriksen8 quickly received thousands of likes, as well as messages of support from teammates in the Denmark national team, the Ukraine national team, and former club teammates.

“Stay strong, brother,” wrote Argentine forward Lautaro Martinez. Luke Shaw, Patrick Dorgu, Lucas Moura, and the official account of the Portugal national team also left messages of support, including heart emojis and well wishes for his recovery and well-being during this period.

What happened to Eriksen at Euro 2020?

During UEFA Euro 2020, Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen shocked the world when he suffered a sudden cardiac arrest and collapsed on the pitch during Denmark’s opening match against Finland. Quick intervention from his teammates and medical staff saved his life, as he was resuscitated right on the field before being rushed to the hospital.

Against all odds, Eriksen was fitted with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) and made a miraculous return to elite soccer just eight months later. He subsequently resumed his career in the Premier League with Brentford and Manchester United, and later moved to the Bundesliga with Wolfsburg, while continuing to proudly represent Denmark on the international stage.

“Christian is doing well and left the field himself. As I see it, the pacemaker is working as it should. He was briefly unconscious, but regained consciousness very quickly, and we were quickly in contact with him. Now he will be examined further at the hospital to find out what caused the incident,” Morten Boesen, team doctor said, according to Denmark‘s national side’s social media.

“We are in ongoing contact with him and the doctors at the hospital. But Christian was fine, and he asked me to greet all the players and say that everything was okay.”

For the time being, that’s all that matters. Whatever happens with Eriksen’s professional career is irrelevant, and speculation does no good during such a critical health situation.

National team showed support

In the blink of an eye, Eriksen clutched his chest and fell to the ground at Odense Stadion, showing just how meaningless a soccer game can become when something truly important happens. As soon as Eriksen collapsed, first responders entered the pitch and assisted the veteran international star.

Similar to what happened at Euro 2020, when Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest, his teammates quickly reacted. They stayed close to Eriksen at all times—close enough to create a wall that prevented cameras from capturing highly sensitive images, yet far enough away for the medical team to work unobstructed.

What’s next for Denmark

The international friendly against Ukraine was suspended in the 65th minute. Most likely, the match will be abandoned, as it holds no real significance for either side. Denmark has completed its June international slate, having previously played to a scoreless draw against DR Congo on June 3.

The Danish national team did not qualify for the 2026 World Cup. As things stand, Denmark has no games scheduled until the 2026 UEFA Nations League.

As reported by Zorya Londonsk on X, Eriksen was conscious as he walked onto the ambulance. Considering Eriksen’s medical history, it’s an encouraging sign, although the situation certainly raises concerns and once again puts the Danish star in the spotlight over a potential cardiac setback.

“Christian Eriksen is conscious and doing well under the circumstances. The match has been called off,” Denmark’s national team reported in an official statement.

Eriksen’s precedent

Back in June of 2021, Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest during Denmark’s opening game against Finland in the Euro 2020. Hadn’t it been for the immediate reaction from first responders, the story could’ve been much different and tragic for the international soccer star.

In February 2022, Eriksen returned to a pitch, fitted with an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) in his heart. Perhaps, that device played a big role in helping Eriksen recover from the latest scare.

However, the latest medical emergency, which shows an awful lot of similarities with the cardiac arrest five years ago, puts concerns over the 34-year-old and his career. Still, that’s all a problem for tomorrow. For the time being, his health is the only thing that matters. Based on Denmark’s official statement on the national team’s social media, Eriksen is doing well.
