Every time Denmark plays, the Danish fan club, Guldklubben (the gold club), is present on the sideline. Surrounded by mugs, pens, disposable cameras, CDs, lighters and flags, the Danish fans have set up stall at the entrance to Arenaen in Århus.

Guldklubben takes pride in creating a festive setting for the matches of Euro 2002 and therefore it strongly encourages the spectators to dress imaginatively in red and white. If the spectators are enthusiastic, Guldklubben is convinced that it will rub off on the performance of the Danish national team.

Guldklubben was created in September 1994. Four times a year Guldklubben issues a magazine to all its members. The name of the magazine is Guldklumpen (the gold nugget).

Guldklubben earns money by selling merchandise and it also receives support from the Danish Handball Federation, DHF and from the sponsor of the Danish national team, Adidas.

At the moment the club has 400 active members but its aim is to reach 1000 within the next six months.
