Kasper Hjulmand’s side left their Helsingor training base on Monday where a sea of red shirts lined the streets to cheer them on.
Footage on the Dane’s official Instagram video shows Hjulmand stepping out onto the balcony to a huge roar from the crowd.
Hjulmand is seen waving and blowing kisses before starting a chant.
Images then show the team including Kasper Schmeichel and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg walking through the fans towards the team bus.
Flags were waved while a number of girls played the flute before making their way to the airport.
