Team Danmark’s primary mission is to develop Danish elite sport in a socially and community appropriate manner. Parliament has established Team Danmark’s overall tasks in the ‘Act on elite sport’. The first act on elite sport was passed in parliament in 1984, which also created Team Danmark. The act on elite sport was renewed in 2004.

You can see the results for the supported athletes from the past years here....

The results are from Olympic competetions, world championships and european championships.

A short introduction:

In 2010, we will work with the 31 Federations, which together will receive the majority of the allocated 135 million kroner that Team Danmark annually invests in elite sport. Our revenues come primarily from the Ministry of Culture, Denmark’s Sports Federation, as well as the sale of television, sponsorship, and marketing rights that Sport One Denmark stands for.

Team Danmark’s organisation is comprised of a director and 6 teams. The director refers to the board of members, which is Team Danmark’s highest authority. The board has 8 members, all appointed by the Minister for Culture. 4 members are chosen by The National Olympic Committee and Sport Confederations of Denmark and 4 are chosen by the Minister for Culture. Both Athletes and elite-trainers are represented in the board.

Team Danmark supports more than 1000 athletes. Our goal is that we, together with the federations, create an optimal environment for the athletes daily life.
