After their glorious Champions League campaign last year, where they reached the round of 16 before crashing out against Sporting CP, Bodo/Glimt now takes the first step in building for the future, as construction has begun for the "Arctic Arena," set to hold 10,000 spectators and designed to meet UEFA requirements.
The stadium is set to be completed in 2027, as the project represents one of the most important investments ever made in the development of Bodo/Glimt is a major step forward for football, community, and business in Northern Norway.
Bodo/Glimt enjoyed a remarkable UEFA Champions League campaign, reaching the Round of 16 for the first time in the club’s history in its first-ever participation in the competition, with the football world stunned by the extraordinary rise of a club from north of the Arctic Circle.
“This is a defining moment for Bodø/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.”
