Bodo/Glimt delivered a remarkable Champions League campaign, reaching the Round of 16 in their first-ever appearance in the competition. The club’s run stunned the football world and highlighted the rise of a team from north of the Arctic Circle.
“This is a defining moment for Bodo/Glimt, for our supporters and for the whole region,” said Frode Thomassen, CEO of Bodo/Glimt.
“The start of construction of our new arena is much more than the beginning of a building project. It is a statement about who we are, what we have built together, and where we want to go. This arena will be the future home of Bodo/Glimt and a place that reflects the ambition, energy and unity that have driven this club’s remarkable journey.”
