He was rewarded for his 17 goals in just 26 league starts for his club this season after he was named in the Danish squad for the first time for their friendlies against Northern Ireland and Lithuania in Copenhagen and Odense.
And national boss Riemer admitted he's been impressed with Kvistgaarden this season.
He said: "He could have been called up sooner, but he had a couple of injury setbacks.
"Kvistgaarden hit really good form at the end of the season, so it was natural he was selected.
"In almost all the matches I've seen Kvistgaarden play, he's been a tormentor for the opponents' defences.
"He really gets a lot out of a little.
"He is a guy who believes in even the most impossible chance. He is willing to run with and without the ball.
"So I look forward to seeing him in camp.
And the player was delighted at the call-up.
He said: "I'm incredibly proud to have been selected for the Denmark team.
"It's huge for me and it's the opportunity to represent my country was something I never thought would happen during my time here."

Ex-Celtic winger Daniel Arzani a transfer target for Hearts
Arzani signed for the Hoops on a two-year loan deal from Manchester City back in 2018 but it turned into a nightmare when he suffered an ACL injury on his debut against Dundee, which would turn out to be his only appearance. He had already broken into the Australia international team and showed enough at Melbourne City to persuade the Premier League giants to snap him up, but that injury was a real setback. Loans in the Netherlands, Denmark and Belgium helped slowly get his career back on track but it was a move back home with Macarthur that acted as a proper ignition.

Hearts are looking to take advantage of that by signing him on a free contract, as reported by Hearts Standard. New manager Derek McInnes has already stressed the importance of wingers for the way he wants to play and it is an area in which they were extremely light last season. Greek wide man Alexandros Kyziridis has already been signed while they are thought to be close to adding Kazakhstan international Islam Chesnokov. Both of those are inverted wingers playing on the opposite side, while Arzani would give the option of a more traditional wide man, although he can also operate on either flank. He has played 64 times for Melbourne Victory and helped them to the A-League series final, where they lost to city rivals and Arzani's former team, Melbourne City.

Christian Eriksen hints at next transfer with Premier League admission
Christian Eriksen insists there is "interest all around" ahead of his departure from Manchester United as a free agent at the end of June, but he hasn't decided where he will move yet Christian Eriksen says he is hoping to leave England and the Premier League behind this summer. Eriksen will leave Manchester United as a free agent when his contract expires on June 30 and is yet to decide where to move. The 33-year-old midfielder contributed eight goals and 19 assists in 107 matches for United across all competitions since joining on a free transfer in July 2022. But he struggled to win over Ruben Amorim in the 2024/25 season, starting just 11 Premier League games as they finished a lowly 15th, and was not offered a new contract. After being excused from the post-season trip to Malaysia and Hong Kong in order to marry his partner Sabrina Kvist Jensen, Eriksen is now preparing for international duty. He will be involved in their friendlies against Northern Ireland and Lithuania over the next week, before deciding on his future at club level. While there is nothing concrete yet, Eriksen is keen to leave England after spending 10 seasons in the Premier League with United, Brentford and Tottenham. The Danish midfielder has also played for Inter Milan and Ajax and wants to find a new experience. 'I would rather get away from the Premier League,' he told Danish TV. 'I feel like I've taken my turn in the Premier League, so I'm looking outside the English borders. It has been a great place for me and my family, and we have been there for many years. "When I moved from Tottenham to Inter, it wasn't my plan to go back to England either. After that I've been there for three and a half years again, so you should never say never. But my priority is that I have to leave." Eriksen has been linked with a move to Danish side Odense, where he spent time as a youngster. But he says, while there is plenty of interest, nothing has been decided. HAVE YOUR SAY! Where will Christian Eriksen end up this summer? Comment below. 'It's football's rumour mill. I hope no-one has put money on it being now, because then they will lose,' he said. "Right now there is nothing. There is interest all around, but there is nothing where I am close to signing.' He added: "My focus is on playing international matches, and then go on a good summer holiday. Then we will see how long the holiday will be." Eriksen is leaving United as a free agent alongside Jonny Evans and Victor Lindelof. Speaking to TNT Sports after the final game of the season, a 2-0 win over Aston Villa in which he scored a penalty, he said: 'It has been a tough season, but I am going to wish them all the best. It is an incredible stadium, an incredible club and I have no doubt I will be back at some point.'
