🇳🇴 The Arctic Circle is home to European football's best underdog story

Bodo/Glimt have become a dominant force in Norwegian football, winning three titles in four years!

In a small fishing town just north of the Arctic Circle - and a 16-hour drive from Oslo -the best underdog story in European football has unfolded in recent years.

Until 2020, Bodo/Glimt had never won a major piece of silverware. Until then, they’d spent much of their existence jumping between the Norwegian first and second tiers.

Everything changed in 2020, however, when the club in northern Norway won the Eliteserien for the first time.

For decades, Norwegian football had been dominated by Rosenborg who won 13 straight titles between 1992 and 2004.

Molde wrote their own underdog story by winning the Eliteserien for the first time under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in 2011, but this was nothing compared to what Bodo/Glimt would go on to achieve.

Three titles in four years makes Bodo/Glimt much more than just an underdog story. They have a blueprint for success.
