Tromsø, Bodø/Glimt, Norwegian football authorities and visiting supporters
8 November 2026
A section of the away stand collapsed during Tromsø’s Norwegian league match against Bodø/Glimt, causing several supporters to fall through the structure. At least one person was hospitalised.
The incident occurred around the 41st minute while visiting supporters were bouncing and singing during heavy rain. Bodø/Glimt goalkeeper Nikita Haikin alerted the referee, and play was stopped. Norwegian broadcaster NRK reported that four supporters received medical attention. Other away supporters were relocated before the match resumed. Bodø/Glimt subsequently won 2-0 through two Ola Brynhildsen goals.
Why It Matters
The structural failure raises serious questions about stadium safety and the protection of travelling supporters.
