Fan hospitalised after falling through stand at Norwegian football match

A section of the away stand at Tromsø’s stadium gave way during a Norwegian top-flight match, injuring several Bodo/Glimt supporters and prompting a pause in play. One person was taken to hospital; the incident has raised concerns about the stand’s safety.

The match against Tromsø was stopped just before half-time after Bodo goalkeeper Nikita Haikin alerted the referee. Bodo’s press officer said up to five people fell through the stand, while a witness described the floor cracking as fans bounced to a song. After supporters were moved and officials consulted, the game resumed; Ola Brynhildsen scored twice as Bodo went top of the Eliteserien on goal difference.
