Danish football legend Michael Laudrup says that the Danish FA has failed to properly explain the reason for the failure to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

[p]The Danish national team missed out on World Cup qualification in late March, and in the wake of that disappointment, [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/laudrup-michael/xhouhWjU/"]Michael Laudrup[/a] feels that the Danish FA has failed to communicate properly about the reasons for the failed qualification. [/p][p][b]"It surprised me that they couldn't issue a statement. It took a few weeks before they concluded that there were issues with set-pieces and play inside the two boxes. They could have said that the very next day. It’s not exactly rocket science. There haven't been many statements from the federation"[/b], says Laudrup to Viaplay.[/p][embed guid="5bda9421-1d0d-40bb-99e6-9514283a0175" url="https://x.com/BBCMOTD/status/2039099884280914320" social-type="twitter" /][p]Peter Moller, football director of the Danish FA, acknowledges the debate but disagrees with the assessment. He points out that there have been "numerous" opportunities to ask follow-up questions and that the media and experts were invited to a detailed walkthrough of the analysis.[/p][p][b]"As all fans have likely experienced when their club is going through a rough patch, it isn't always simple to provide a completely definitive explanation for why a match is lost.[/b] We conducted an analysis and identified four specific main causes. We have discussed these in several major interviews," says Peter Moller to TV2 Sport.[/p]
