An away supporters' stand collapsed at Romssa Arena, formerly Alfheim Stadium, in Tromso, Norway, during Tromso IL's match against Bodo/Glimt. The match was halted and remains indefinitely delayed.
Stand collapse
The temporary scaffolding-style stand holding the away Bodo/Glimt supporters gave way when fans were jumping to a supporters' song. The floor structurally failed and broke in two.
People treated
“Up to five people fell through the stands in the away section. One person has been taken to the hospital, while the others were examined on-site and appear to be doing well,” Simen Pedersen, media officer for Bodo/Glimt, told NRK.
Match halted and evacuation
The match was halted roughly 40 minutes into the first half with the score tied 0-0. Bodo/Glimt goalkeeper Nikita Haikin gestured toward referee Ola Hobber Nilsen, who halted the match.
Emergency services rushed to the scene, and stadium announcers ordered away fans to evacuate the area immediately to clear a path for emergency personnel. Both sets of players were sent back to the dressing rooms.
