Notes
1.^ Not a full FIFA international match because Denmark fielded a team with only players from its own league.
2.^ Guatemala fielded its U-23 team. It is still considered as a full FIFA international match.
3.^ Canada fielded its U-23 team. It is still considered as a full FIFA international match.
