Bellamy eyes more history against wounded Denmark

What the report says

Craig Bellamy goes back to a familiar opponent on Sunday as Wales meet Denmark in Copenhagen in a key Nations League A fixture, with both teams seeking a much-needed win. BBC Sport reports that Wales have not won in their last five matches in 2026, while Denmark are also under pressure after losing their opening group game 3-2 to Norway and failing to reach this year’s World Cup.

The article highlights Bellamy’s long-running positive record against Denmark as a player. He scored his first competitive international goal in a late comeback victory over the Danes in Euro 2000 qualifying in 1998, and later scored again against them in a 2008 friendly near Copenhagen. Bellamy said the 1998 match was one of the happiest moments of his career, though he also recalled that his teammates were frustrated with him for helping rescue then-manager Bobby Gould.

Now in charge of Wales from the touchline, Bellamy faces the challenge of turning that personal history into a result for his current side. Denmark boss Brian Riemer has described the match as a must-win, and Bellamy said he understands the mood among Danish supporters. The game matters because Wales are trying to avoid a difficult position in League A and strengthen their chances of staying in the top tier. BBC Sport notes the match kicks off at 17:00 BST at Parken Stadium.
