Denmark — Volleyball

Volleyball in Denmark is a participatory sport with a well-organised domestic structure. The 1. Division East Women features 91 clubs across 8 competitions.

While handball dominates Danish team sport attention, volleyball has a dedicated community and active club competitions.

The Danish Volleyball Federation was founded in 1937. The sport has been present in Danish sporting life for decades, though overshadowed by handball and football.

Danish volleyball has focused on participation and development rather than international results, with the domestic league providing competitive opportunities for clubs across the country.

The Danish Volleyball Federation (Dansk Volleyball Forbund) governs volleyball in Denmark. Founded in 1937, it is a member of the CEV and FIVB.

The VolleyLigaen is the top division of volleyball in Denmark. The Danish Volleyball Cup provides knockout competition.

Denmark's volleyball programme focuses primarily on domestic development. The national team participates in European qualification rounds, with volleyball developing in the shadow of Denmark's dominant handball programme.
