The 2018 Slovakia v Denmark football match was an international friendly association football match between the senior national teams of Slovakia and Denmark.

Despite the vast inexperience of the Danish players, and having only been called up 48 hours prior, the match only finished as a 3–0 win for Slovakia. The Danish team were praised for their performance in avoiding humiliation, especially futsal goalkeeper Christoffer Haagh, who made seven saves during the match.
