Daniel Wass
Danish association football player
Daniel Wass (Danish pronunciation: [ˈtɛˀnjəl ˈvæs]; born 31 May 1989) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder or full-back for Danish Superliga club Brøndby, which he captains. He announced his retirement from professional football, when his contract with Brøndby expires in the summer of 2027. After his retirement he will continue in the club organization.
A product of Avarta and Brøndby's youth academy, Wass made his senior debut for Brøndby in the 2007–08 Superliga season and established himself in the side over the following years before transferring to Benfica in 2011. After being loaned to Évian, where he subsequently signed on a permanent basis, he spent three seasons in France before moves to Celta Vigo in 2015 and Valencia in 2018. At Valencia he won the 2019 Copa del Rey, the first major honour of his career. A short spell at Atlético Madrid in 2022 was curtailed by a knee injury on his debut, after which he returned to Brøndby on a permanent transfer.
A former Denmark international, Wass made his debut in 2011 and was named in the country's squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Early life
Wass was born and grew up in Brøndby, in the western suburbs of Copenhagen. He started playing football aged four for Avarta in neighbouring Rødovre, its Espelunden ground being closer to his childhood home than Brøndby Stadium, and remained at the club for around ten years.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Daniel Wass” as danish association football player. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as danish association football player. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q316854. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1989, 2027, 2007 and 2011.
A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
