After two decades out in the cold, with only a silver medal at the 1960 Olympic Games to show for their efforts, the Danes embraced semi-professionalism in 1978. Just nine of the 48 league clubs opted to retain amateur status. Even so, it took another seven years before Brøndby IF signed 20 full-time players to become the nation's first all-professional squad. Since 1983, the team has continuously been visible as a solidly competitive side, with the triumph in the 1992 European Championships in Sweden as its most prominent victory, beating the European champions from Netherlands in the semifinal, and the World champions from Germany in the final. They also managed to win the 1995 Confederations Cup, defeating Argentina in the final. Their best FIFA World Cup result was achieved in 1998, where they narrowly lost 3–2 in the quarter-final against Brazil.
