Fan Injured After Falling Through Hole in Stand During Bodo/Glimt Match

A fan was taken to hospital after several Bodo/Glimt supporters fell through a hole in the away stand at Tromsø’s Romssa Arena on Sunday. The Norwegian top‑flight match was paused just before half‑time after Bodo keeper Nikita Haikin called for the referee’s attention. Bodo/Glimt press officer Simen Pedersen told Reuters that “up to five people fell through the stands”.

Bodo supporter Andrine Moen described the incident to local newspaper Verdens Gang, as reported by Reuters: “We stood and bounced to a supporter song, then the floor gave way. It cracked in two in the row in front of us. There were at least two people who fell through the floor, but we don’t know how far they fell or how many fell in total.”

The remaining Bodo supporters were moved into other parts of the ground before the match resumed. The game, played in heavy rain, was 0‑0 at the time of the incident. Bodo forward Ola Brynhildsen scored twice after the pause, giving the league leaders a 2‑0 win. Bodo remain locked in a title battle with Viking as the Eliteserien season concludes in early December.
