Know The Opposition
Fotballklubben Bodø/Glimt, also referred to as Bodø/Glimt or its former name Glimt (and nicknamed Glimt (Flash), Superlaget (The Super Team), Den Gule Horde (The Yellow Horde)), is a Norwegian professional football club from the town of Bodø.
While other towns in Nordland county like Narvik, Mo i Rana and Mosjøen had started their football clubs earlier, the larger town of Bodø was without a major football club until the latter part of 1916. The new club was founded as Fotballklubben Glimt. Glimt's first match was against Bodø Highschool, because Glimt was the only football club in town. The club changed its name in 1948, due to an older club from Trøndelag having the same name, and has since gone by the name Fotballklubben Bodø/Glimt.
Bodø/Glimt are three-time champions in Norway after winning the 2020, 2021 and 2023 Eliteserien seasons. They also have won the now defunct Northern Norwegian Cup nine times, and the Norwegian Cup twice. They were the first team from northern Norway to win a national title by winning the cup in 1975, the first team from the region to win the national league and also the northernmost European club to win a national league competition.
Glimt is known for its yellow kits and the huge yellow toothbrushes that its supporters carry to the matches — a supporter symbol from the 1970s. Their rivals include cross-town club IK Grand Bodø. They play their home games at the Aspmyra Stadion.
